Kyiv was left scarred by widespread damage after Russia launched one of the biggest ballistic missile assaults on the Ukrainian capital since the war began. Streets were littered with debris and burned vehicles, while apartment buildings and office properties were among the sites hit during the prolonged attack.
According to the available details, the strikes lasted for more than five hours, underscoring the scale of the barrage. The attack affected multiple parts of the city, with destruction visible across residential and commercial areas as emergency crews and officials worked to assess the aftermath.
Ukrainian authorities said the bombardment caused damage to buildings and infrastructure across the capital. Images and reports from the scene pointed to a night of intense bombardment that left many areas marked by shattered structures, wrecked cars and scattered rubble.
The latest strike highlights the continued threat facing Kyiv as Russia keeps up missile attacks deep into Ukraine. It also reflects the heavy pressure on the capital’s defenses and emergency services whenever large-scale barrages target the city.
