Russia has launched another large-scale overnight missile and drone attack on Kyiv, setting off fires across several districts of the Ukrainian capital and sending emergency crews rushing to multiple strike sites.
According to Ukrainian authorities, air defense systems were activated for hours as waves of missiles and drones targeted the city, with explosions reported across residential neighborhoods and critical infrastructure.
Emergency responders worked through the night to extinguish fires, rescue trapped residents, and assess damage to homes, warehouses, and public buildings.
Officials say several civilian sites were damaged during the attack, while rescue teams continued searching affected areas for survivors.
The latest assault is among the largest carried out against Kyiv in recent months and comes as Russia continues its campaign of long-range missile and drone strikes across Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has renewed calls for additional air defense systems, saying stronger protection is urgently needed to defend civilians and critical infrastructure from continuing attacks.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces continue carrying out long-range drone operations against military and logistical targets inside Russia as fighting intensifies on multiple fronts.
As emergency crews remain on the ground clearing debris and restoring essential services, authorities warn that the threat of further missile and drone attacks remains high, urging residents to stay alert and follow air raid warnings.
