Rain of bombs on Kyiv and Ukraine, 6 dead and dozens injured

Russia's air raids intensified across Ukraine overnight, with the capital Kyiv bearing the brunt of a "combined attack." The assault on Kyiv resulted in one fatality and at least 20 injuries, alongside widespread fires and power outages within the city.

Further east, the city of Dnipro was targeted by a Russian attack that left five people dead and at least 25 injured, with several in critical condition. Kharkiv also sustained damage from 15 attack drones and two missiles, leading to at least ten injuries, including an 11-year-old girl.

In response, Ukrainian drones struck the Russian region of Kursk, near the Ukrainian border. Governor Roman Starovoyt reported that a drone attacked a civilian vehicle in the village of Shchekino, Rylsky district, resulting in one death.

The renewed aerial assaults underscore the ongoing intensity of the conflict, with both sides employing long-range strike capabilities against critical infrastructure and civilian areas.
