Russian forces launched fresh attacks on Ukraine's Kyiv region on Tuesday, killing at least four people and striking key energy infrastructure, according to local authorities. City officials confirmed three deaths within the capital itself, while emergency responders reported a child killed in the surrounding region.
The strikes targeted power generation facilities across the Kyiv region as part of continued Russian efforts to disable Ukraine's energy grid ahead of winter. The attacks represent the latest in a sustained campaign aimed at crippling critical infrastructure and civilian services.
Emergency services were conducting search and rescue operations at strike sites throughout the region. Ukrainian officials have repeatedly condemned Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure as violations of international humanitarian law.
The assault underscores the ongoing toll of Russia's invasion on civilian populations in Ukraine's most populous regions. Ukraine's government has called for increased international support for air defense systems to counter the persistent aerial threat.
