At least six people were killed and over two dozen wounded in a barrage of Russian ballistic missile strikes that struck Kyiv in the early hours of Thursday morning. Ukrainian emergency services responded to multiple impact sites across the capital as rescue operations got underway.
The strikes added to the toll of civilian casualties from Russia's ongoing military campaign in Ukraine. Russian forces have conducted repeated aerial bombardments targeting urban centers, including the capital, throughout the conflict.
Details regarding the specific locations hit and the full extent of damage were still being assessed. Ukrainian authorities have not yet released comprehensive casualty figures or detailed information about the affected areas.
The attack underscores the continued vulnerability of Ukrainian civilian populations to Russian missile fire despite international efforts to broker a resolution to the conflict. Air defense systems have intermittently engaged incoming missiles, though Russia's sustained bombardment continues to result in significant civilian impact.
