Kyiv has remained a central target during Russia’s war against Ukraine, and the latest strike underscored the continuing danger to civilians. The reported casualties made the attack one of the deadlier recent assaults on the city.
Officials said rescue and response efforts were underway as authorities worked to gather more information about the full impact of the strike. The overnight barrage added to growing concern over sustained missile and drone attacks on urban areas in Ukraine.
