Russia strikes Kyiv in 'massive' attack; at least two killed

Russia's Defence Ministry said its forces conducted what it described as a 'massive strike' against Kyiv and several other Ukrainian regions on Tuesday, according to state accounts of the operation.

The attack resulted in at least two confirmed deaths, though the full extent of casualties and damage remained unclear as rescue operations continued. Ukrainian officials were assessing the impact across multiple locations targeted in the strike.

The assault marked the latest in a series of Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilian and military infrastructure. Moscow's characterization of the operation as 'massive' suggested a significant deployment of military resources in the strike.

No immediate details were available regarding specific targets hit or the number of weapons deployed in the operation. Ukrainian authorities have not yet issued a comprehensive statement on the damage assessment or response to the strikes.
