Russia launched one of the biggest aerial assaults of the war on Kyiv overnight, firing more than 700 drones and over 50 missiles at the Ukrainian capital in a massive bombardment that shook central parts of the city and left multiple casualties.
Dramatic videos circulating online captured the moment a cruise missile struck central Kyiv, sending thick plumes of smoke into the sky as explosions echoed near government buildings and residential areas. The attack marked one of the most intense combined missile and drone barrages since the war began.
