A large-scale Russian attack on Ukraine’s capital uses ballistic and cruise missiles along with drones, according to reports from NPR and ABC News. The strikes damage buildings and civilian infrastructure across the city. The attacks kill 11 people and injure 54 others, including two children, ABC News reports. NPR similarly says civilians are killed and that the strikes cause widespread damage to residential areas and public infrastructure.
City residents take shelter in metro stations as the attack unfolds, NPR reports, reflecting heightened concern for civilian safety during the strikes. Both outlets describe the attack as coordinated and extensive, with impacts spread across different parts of the capital rather than a single location. Injuries and property damage are reported throughout the aftermath. Officials and emergency response efforts are ongoing as the city assesses damage and assists those hurt, while residents continue to follow guidance to seek shelter during the air-raid situation.
