Russian attacks on the Ukrainian city of Bucha overnight killed at least 27 people and injured 42, according to Kyiv's governor, Timur Tkatjenko. He stated on Telegram that the death toll may not be final. Nearly 400 residents were evacuated from the affected area.

The powerful explosions reported late Thursday were attributed to a Russian drone attack that struck a warehouse on the outskirts of Kyiv. Over 200 people, including children, were evacuated from the site, with at least six reported injured, according to the Kyiv region's military administration.

Russia has conducted several large-scale air raids in recent weeks, resulting in dozens of casualties. Ukraine has reported an acute shortage of air defense systems, exacerbating the impact of these attacks. The attacks on Bucha follow a pattern of intensified aerial assaults across Ukraine.
