Russia's missile barrage struck Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, on Saturday morning, resulting in at least four fatalities and 15 injuries, according to officials. The attack, which involved ballistic missiles, caused significant damage, including the partial collapse of a residential building where people were trapped.

Kyiv Mayor Vitaly Klitschko reported that the first and second floors of the damaged building had collapsed. Additionally, several warehouses in the city caught fire. Witnesses in Kyiv described hearing more than a dozen explosions that shook the Ukrainian capital.

The intensified bombing campaign by Moscow comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been actively seeking increased international support. Last week, Zelenskyy met with US President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham to bolster Ukraine's air defense capabilities.
