At least 10 people have been killed after Russia launched a large-scale overnight missile and drone assault on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, marking one of the most intense attacks in weeks. Powerful explosions echoed across the city as air defence systems attempted to intercept incoming missiles and drones, while multiple residential areas, hotels, vehicles, and civilian infrastructure were damaged or destroyed. Authorities said children were among the many injured, and emergency crews worked through the night to rescue survivors and extinguish fires. Ukrainian officials accused Russia of deliberately targeting civilian neighbourhoods, while Moscow claimed the strikes were aimed at military and energy facilities in response to recent Ukrainian attacks on Russian infrastructure. The assault came shortly after President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that intelligence suggested a major Russian offensive was imminent. As the situation escalated, neighbouring Poland activated fighter jets as a precaution to safeguard its airspace, highlighting growing regional security concerns.
