Kyiv marks a day of mourning on Friday after a Russian missile and drone attack killed at least 30 people, according to Ukrainian officials. Across the Ukrainian capital, flags are lowered to half mast as residents and authorities observe the memorial following what multiple outlets describe as one of the deadliest attacks on Kyiv this year. Rescuers continue clearing rubble at sites hit by the strikes, searching for survivors after the attack damaged an apartment building. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy visits the affected area, where emergency teams work to locate any remaining victims. Several reports state that the death toll stands at 30, with Zelenskiy saying it has risen to that number. Coverage emphasizes the ongoing rescue effort and the continuation of debris removal through Friday, while the city observes mourning for those killed. The reports collectively describe a coordinated missile and drone barrage and the strain on Kyiv’s air defences, alongside the immediate humanitarian response focused on rescue and recovery.
