Another Night of Deadly Russian Bombing in Kyiv and the Surrounding Region

Ukraine’s emergency service said 33 people were injured as strikes hit 12 sites and damaged homes, a medical facility and a school.

  • On Thursday, a massive overnight Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv killed at least nine people and injured 33, striking residential areas, a medical facility, and an educational institution.
  • Moscow has intensified ballistic missile attacks on the capital, exploiting Ukraine's chronic shortage of U.S.-made Patriot air defense interceptors, while Kyiv has escalated retaliatory drone strikes on Russian territory to weaken Moscow's offensive capabilities.
  • Strikes hit 12 locations across Kyiv's Darnytskyi, Sviatoshynskyi, and Solomianskyi districts, destroying floors of a nine-story residential building. Beyond the capital, the air force reported hits at 28 locations across the country.
  • Neighboring NATO states launched security responses as the Polish Armed Forces Operational Command activated air defense systems and Romania scrambled Spanish fighter jets to monitor air targets near their borders, while Moldova reported an unauthorized drone breach.
  • The Russian Defense Ministry claimed its air defenses shot down 726 Ukrainian drones overnight across various regions, Crimea, and the Black and Azov seas, marking one of Ukraine's biggest aerial attacks of the war.
