Russia has intensified its aerial assaults on Ukraine, with a significant "combined attack" striking the capital, Kyiv, overnight. The offensive on the capital resulted in at least four fatalities and left 58 people injured across seven districts. The strikes also caused fires and power outages in the city.
Further east, the city of Dnipro was targeted, leading to five deaths and at least 25 individuals sustaining serious injuries. In Kharkiv, the second-largest city, at least ten people were wounded, including an 11-year-old girl, by a barrage of 15 attack drones and two missiles.
The retaliatory attacks followed an incident where Ukrainian drone strikes reportedly killed one person in the Russian region of Kursk. The scale and intensity of the recent Russian strikes underscore the ongoing escalation of the conflict, with civilian areas and infrastructure bearing the brunt of the violence.
