Russia launched another heavy overnight attack on Kyiv into Saturday, firing ballistic missiles and drones at the Ukrainian capital, according to authorities. Officials said at least nine people were killed and 30 civilians were wounded in the latest strike.
The barrage hit Kyiv as Russia continued its campaign of missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities. The reported death toll and injuries underscored the impact on civilians in the capital, where emergency responders and local officials were dealing with the aftermath.
Authorities described the assault as an intense wave of weapons aimed at Kyiv during the night. The use of both ballistic missiles and drones reflected a coordinated attack pattern that has repeatedly put pressure on air defenses and threatened residential areas.
The latest strike adds to the broader toll of the war in Ukraine, with Kyiv remaining a frequent target despite strong defensive measures. Early reports focused on casualties and damage assessment as officials gathered more information from the scene.
