Officials say Russian strikes hit Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, killing at least 22 people, according to PBS NewsHour, and at least 18 people, according to Courthouse News. The reporting describes an escalation in fighting after Russia warned the prior week that a large attack was coming. Courthouse News adds that Russia told foreign diplomats to leave, and that Kyiv residents had been on edge for days as the warning circulated. Both accounts characterize the attacks as part of a broader intensification of Russia’s campaign against Ukraine, though they differ in the reported death tolls. After the warning, the strikes occur in multiple locations, with residents and officials assessing damage and casualties. The reports attribute the casualty figures to statements from Ukrainian officials, and they describe the situation as ongoing, with officials continuing to account for victims and monitor the impact of the attacks.
