Russia has launched another overnight ballistic missile attack on Kyiv, triggering multiple fires and causing widespread damage across Ukraine's capital and surrounding areas.
Powerful explosions were reported across the city as missiles struck warehouses, commercial facilities, and other infrastructure, sending thick smoke into the sky and forcing emergency crews into immediate action.
Ukrainian officials say the attack caused casualties, while firefighters and rescue teams worked through the night to extinguish blazes, clear debris, and search damaged buildings for survivors.
Air raid sirens sounded across Kyiv as Ukrainian air defense systems attempted to intercept incoming missiles, but officials said several projectiles reached their targets.
Authorities are continuing to assess the full extent of the damage, with engineers inspecting affected buildings and emergency services assisting displaced residents.
The latest strike is part of Russia's intensified long-range missile campaign against the Ukrainian capital, placing renewed pressure on civilian infrastructure and emergency responders.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has once again appealed to international partners for additional air defense systems and interceptor missiles, saying stronger defenses are urgently needed to protect Ukrainian cities.
As rescue operations continue, officials are urging residents to remain vigilant and follow air raid warnings amid the continuing threat of further missile attacks.
