Russia launched another overnight missile strike on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, killing at least one person and injuring two others, according to local authorities.
The attack triggered massive fires across the city, with missiles striking warehouse complexes on opposite sides of the Dnipro River, sending towering flames and thick black smoke into the night sky.
Firefighters and emergency crews worked for hours to contain the blazes as rescue teams searched damaged buildings and assessed the destruction left behind.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said the strikes ignited storage facilities and a non-residential building, while debris from the explosions was scattered across surrounding areas.
Officials are continuing to inspect the affected sites as investigators work to determine the full extent of the damage caused by the overnight assault.
The latest attack is part of Russia's ongoing campaign of missile and drone strikes targeting Ukraine's capital and critical infrastructure.
Air raid sirens sounded across Kyiv as residents sought shelter, while emergency services remained on high alert in anticipation of further attacks.
As rescue and recovery operations continue, Ukrainian authorities are once again calling for stronger international support and additional air defence systems to protect civilians from Russia's continuing aerial assaults.
