Russia launches large-scale missile and drone attacks on Kyiv, with Ukrainian officials reporting deaths and widespread injuries. Multiple outlets describe strikes involving ballistic and cruise missiles as well as drones, with impacts on residential areas and civilian infrastructure. Reported casualty figures vary by outlet, ranging from at least eight to at least 27 killed, and from about a dozen to more than 90 injured, as assessments are updated.

Several reports say the attack occurs overnight and follows air-raid warnings issued by Ukraine’s air force. The Kyiv mayor and other officials characterize it as unusually large. Damage described across sources includes fires and damage to apartments and a hotel, and emergency responders search for survivors. One outlet also frames the strike as retaliation connected to Ukraine’s recent long-range drone activity on Russian territory, while others focus mainly on the attack’s immediate effects.

Outside Kyiv, at least one report says the broader barrage also hits other Ukrainian cities and regions, including areas west and east of the capital. Another outlet adds details of how drones and missiles affect multiple districts and related fires.
