Overnight drone and missile attacks on Kyiv by Russian forces have resulted in the deaths of six individuals and injured over 50, as confirmed by Ukrainian authorities.
Kyiv's military administration chief, Tymur Tkachenko, indicated that the situation remains precarious, with rescues still underway amid wreckage at various sites across the capital. Among the victims, a six-year-old boy was tragically reported among the dead, while additional strikes resulted in injuries to over 50 civilians.
Officials reported significant damage in the Sviatoshynsky and Solomyansky districts, where strikes led to casualties including one fatality and numerous injuries. The devastation extended beyond residential areas, affecting a hospital's pediatric ward and damaging schools and daycare facilities.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha condemned the attacks, labeling it a "horrible morning" for Kyiv and emphasizing the urgency for international support, calling for intensified sanctions against Moscow. This comes as US President Donald Trump re-evaluates his approach to negotiating peace in the region, urging a swift ceasefire agreement from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Despite diplomatic pressures, the continuation of hostilities indicates a tumultuous road ahead for Ukraine as residents grapple with the aftermath of these aggressive acts.
