Russia launched a significant drone and missile attack on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, early on Thursday. Officials confirmed that parts of several buildings sustained damage, with one residence in the Darnytskyi district collapsing partially. Emergency services were en route to the scene, as residents were believed to be trapped under the rubble.
Damage was reported in various districts across Kyiv, including a fire sparked in a 12-storey block of flats in a northern suburb due to drone debris. The Ukrainian air force indicated that missiles targeted other regions like Kharkiv, Sumy, and Poltava, while drones and guided bombs struck eastern and southern areas.
This assault occurred a day after Russia conducted a daytime drone attack on Wednesday, primarily targeting critical infrastructure in western Ukraine, which resulted in at least six fatalities.
