Russian strikes kill six in Kyiv, surrounding region

Russian strikes in Kyiv and surrounding areas have claimed at least six lives and left dozens injured overnight, according to Ukrainian authorities. The escalating conflict, marked by an increase in long-range missile attacks from both sides, saw a particularly devastating assault on the capital. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that the missile barrage hit residential zones, warehouses, a medical center, and an educational institution, leaving five dead and 23 wounded.

Meanwhile, the Brovary district of Kyiv reported a single fatality and one injured individual. Meanwhile, Ukraine's Air Force had issued a warning regarding incoming Russian Kalibr missiles near Kagarlyk, close to the capital. Despite the persistent nightly attacks on Kyiv, Ukraine has intensified its counterattacks on Russian forces, aiming to compel Moscow into diplomatic talks after nearly four and a half years of warfare.
