Nine killed, historic monastery on fire as Ukraine faces major Russian attacks
Officials said 70 missiles and 611 drones hit Kyiv, leaving 140,000 residents without power and damaging the UNESCO-listed monastery complex.
- Russia launched a massive, coordinated wave of missile and drone strikes across Ukraine overnight, killing at least nine people and striking major civilian infrastructure in the heaviest assault on the capital in two weeks.
- A direct strike heavily damaged the historic Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site founded in 1051, where intense fires tore through the roof and main structure of the 1,000-year-old Dormition Cathedral.
- In Kyiv, the barrage killed four people and wounded at least 23 others, hitting residential areas, a 25-story apartment building, and localized power lines, which temporarily cut off electricity to roughly 140,000 residents.
- Five emergency responders were killed in the northeastern city of Kharkiv, after a repeated "double-tap" Russian strike targeted a rescue team while they were actively fighting a fire triggered by an earlier missile impact.
- The devastating escalation came immediately after a 55-minute phone call between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday, during which Trump emphasized the vital importance of halting hostilities.
