War against Ukraine: Russia shells Kyiv with ballistic missiles

Russia has launched a nighttime attack on Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, with ballistic missiles. Multiple heavy explosions were heard in the city after air alarms were triggered, with at least 14 missiles reported in the first three waves of attacks. One person was killed and two injured, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko, with rescue teams responding to several areas of the city.

A house was damaged in one district, potentially trapping people under debris, and local media reported several fires in the city. The attack occurred after a day with 11 air alarms and follows over 4.5 years of Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine.
