A Russian strike near Kyiv kills at least 37 people, Ukrainian officials say, in one of the deadliest attacks reported in Ukraine this year. The strike occurs in the Kyiv region close to the capital.
The attack comes as Russia steps up sustained air-raid activity. PBS reports that almost constant Russian air raids on Kyiv continue for a third day, disrupting civilian life and adding pressure on the capital’s economy. NPR adds that, over roughly the past 72 hours, Ukraine faces near-constant drone strikes across the country.
Across outlets, the shared focus is the reported death toll and the broader context of intensified bombardment affecting daily routines. While some coverage emphasizes the strike’s proximity to Kyiv and its local impact, other outlets highlight the continuing pattern of raids and drones in the days leading up to the attack.
