A significant overnight offensive was carried out by Russia against Kyiv, Ukraine, employing drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic projectiles that inflicted damage on residential structures and ignited fires throughout the city. Ukrainian authorities reported a minimum of 10 fatalities and over 100 injuries, including children, as rescue teams searched for individuals believed to be trapped under the collapsed debris in the Podilsky area. Further strikes impacted Dnipro and Kharkiv, resulting in more casualties and damage to infrastructure. President Volodymyr Zelensky had cautioned about the potential for a substantial attack just hours prior to the strikes, indicating a possible escalation in hostilities.
