The Ukrainian capital of Kyiv was subjected to a devastating barrage of Russian missiles and drones, resulting in the tragic deaths of at least 8 individuals, with several more reported injured. These renewed attacks targeting civilian areas have intensified the fear and humanitarian crisis within the city.
The latest assault caused extensive damage to civilian infrastructure, notably striking and damaging the building housing the Azerbaijan embassy. The impact on a diplomatic mission has raised international alarm regarding the protection of foreign representations during the conflict.
The Ukrainian President claimed that the scale of the assault was massive, alleging that Russia targeted Kyiv using 430 drones and 18 missiles. This significant volume of ordnance underscores the sustained pressure on the capital’s defense systems and the constant threat faced by the civilian population. The Ukrainian government has appealed to the international community for immediate action to ensure the protection of its citizens.
