Russian missiles struck several districts of Kyiv overnight, sparking major fires that swept through residential and commercial buildings across the Ukrainian capital.
Emergency crews rushed to the affected areas as firefighters battled intense flames and rescue teams searched damaged structures for survivors trapped beneath the rubble.
Thick smoke rose above the city as burning buildings, shattered windows, and scattered debris highlighted the scale of the destruction.
Authorities said the attack damaged homes, warehouses, and civilian infrastructure, while emergency workers evacuated residents from neighborhoods affected by the strikes.
Medical teams treated the injured at the scene as engineers began inspecting damaged buildings to determine whether they remained safe.
The latest attack comes as Russia continues its campaign of missile and drone strikes against cities across Ukraine, keeping pressure on critical infrastructure and urban centers.
Ukrainian officials said air defense systems intercepted several incoming missiles, but others penetrated the defenses and struck their intended targets, causing widespread damage.
Rescue and recovery operations remain underway as authorities continue assessing casualties and clearing debris, while residents face yet another night shaped by explosions, uncertainty, and the ongoing realities of the war.
