Russia unleashes 'massive attack' on Kyiv, killing at least five
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said a children's hospital had been damaged in the overnight strikes.
Russia launched a significant assault on Kyiv, resulting in the loss of at least five lives, according to reports. The Ukrainian capital suffered damage to several residential buildings, warehouses, a children's hospital, and a school. Mayor Vitali Klitschko warned that residents of certain districts might face issues with hot water supply due to the overnight attacks.
Ukraine is experiencing a shortage of air defense missiles and requires ammunition as well as anti-missile systems, according to Klitschko. President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized that Russia will not consider peace until Ukraine has sufficient anti-ballistics systems. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that none of the Russian ballistic missiles launched overnight were intercepted.
The UN Secretary-General strongly condemned the strikes and expressed deep concern over the escalation of the conflict. The latest strikes on Kyiv began around midnight local time, followed by Russian missile impacts. The attacks caused power outages, plunging parts of Kyiv into darkness. A day of mourning has been designated for Friday.
