Russia Strikes Ukraine With Drone and Missile Barrage, Killing 3

Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, has reported new casualties following a large-scale Russian drone and missile attack that struck multiple regions overnight.

According to Ukrainian officials, the assault killed three people and left several others injured. Explosions were heard across Kyiv and other cities as air defenses attempted to intercept the barrage of drones and missiles launched by Russian forces.

Kyiv’s military administration confirmed that residential areas and energy facilities were among the targets, heightening concerns of renewed pressure on Ukraine’s infrastructure as the war grinds on. Videos shared online showed emergency crews battling fires and rescuing civilians trapped under rubble.

The latest strikes come amid intensified fighting on the frontlines, with Russia and Ukraine locked in a drawn-out conflict now stretching into its third year. International observers warn that the growing frequency of such large-scale attacks could further escalate humanitarian crises across the region.

World leaders continue to call for de-escalation, but the strikes underscore the fragility of peace efforts and the human toll of the ongoing war.
