Russia launched a massive overnight missile and drone assault on Kyiv early Sunday, striking residential areas, a school and commercial buildings across the Ukrainian capital, killing at least four people.
The strike comes days after Moscow vowed retaliation for Ukrainian attacks in Russian-occupied territory that it said killed 18 people. The barrage injured at least 10 people, triggered fires in multiple districts and forced residents into underground shelters as air raid sirens echoed across the city for hours.
The attack, which Ukrainian authorities described as a “mass ballistic missile attack”, continued into Sunday morning with officials warning that additional missiles and drones were still approaching the capital.
