Russian forces launched deadly attacks against Kyiv and nearby areas during the night. Seven people died and many others suffered injuries from the missile and drone strikes. Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko confirmed that homes, hospitals and sports buildings took direct hits. Six victims lost their lives when rockets slammed into a tall apartment building. Another 22 people got hurt across the capital city.
Ukrainian air defense teams counted 352 enemy drones and 16 missiles flying toward their territory. Most of the weapons targeted areas around Kyiv. Emergency workers shared videos of scared residents walking away from a burning high-rise that suffered major damage. Many families spent hours hiding underground at metro stations for safety. One subway entrance also took damage from the bombardment.
Hospital workers confirmed another death occurred when a drone crashed into a medical center south of Kyiv. The facility sits near the city of Bila Tserkva. Rescue teams continue searching through rubble and treating wounded civilians. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky plans to travel to London for important talks about the war. Russian commanders have stepped up their air campaigns against Ukrainian cities over recent weeks.
Tuesday night brought even worse destruction to the capital region. That earlier assault killed 28 people and wounded more than 100 others. Military experts consider these recent strikes among the most severe since Russia started its full invasion. The war began back during February 2022 and continues causing massive suffering.
