Narrow escape for woman as Russian drone hits residential area

Video shows the moment a Russian attack hit a parking lot near Ukraine’s capital.

Russian forces have resumed their drone barrage of Ukraine's Kyiv region for the second day, hitting over a dozen buildings and vehicles. This prolonged air raid locked down the capital for 15 hours, severely disrupting civilian life. The attacks also targeted the power grid, causing major outages in the southern Kherson region.

One person was killed and two others wounded in the raids. Russian officials claim to have hit a warehouse storing Ukraine's Flamingo cruise missiles and fuel for rocket boosters. Kyiv region authorities urged residents to stay indoors and heed air raid alerts, while Kherson officials warned of long-term power and heating outages.

The Russian Defense Ministry reported shooting down 512 Ukrainian drones overnight. Meanwhile, a Ukrainian drone attack in Yaroslavl, Russia, killed one person and wounded 27 others, causing damage to residential areas and a supermarket.
