Russo-Ukrainian war, day 1681: Russian drone hit Kyiv school sheltering more than 100 students and about 60 staff
NATO chief Mark Rutte says there is no risk of Russia using nuclear weapons against the Baltics, even as Moscow warns that isolating Kaliningrad could trigger a nuclear response.
On day 1681 of the Russo-Ukrainian war, a Russian drone targeted a school in Kyiv that was housing over 100 students and around 60 staff members. The school, which had initially been used as a shelter, emerged unscathed from the attack, with everyone inside emerging safely despite fires breaking out in two Kyiv districts. The Russian drone utilized a mechanical contact detonator, consisting of metal "whiskers" on its surface, to strike the building.
Meanwhile, in Sumy, a similar drone attack caused damage to a 19th-century church and a statue of Christ. This incident highlights the ongoing threat faced by civilians in the conflict zone, as well as the evolving tactics employed by both sides in the war.
