Russia Launches Massive Missile and Drone Attacks on Kyiv and Other Ukrainian Cities
Russia conducted a large-scale missile and drone attack on Kyiv and multiple other Ukrainian cities, resulting in at least 10 confirmed fatalities and 71 injuries. The strikes, which included ballistic, cruise, and anti-ship missiles alongside Shahed drones, occurred hours after the US Congress approved new sanctions on Moscow, suggesting a potential retaliatory or escalatory response to Western pressure. The attacks targeted both civilian infrastructure and residential areas, with a multi-night pause in ballistic missile strikes on Kyiv ending prior to this latest bombardment.
