Air Attacks in Ukraine's Capital, Kyiv – Injuries and Fatalities Documented - Aerial assaults by Russia in Ukraine leave casualties in Kiev
In a series of heavy air strikes overnight, several cities across Ukraine were targeted, resulting in casualties and significant damage.
The Russian military, according to local media reports, carried out the attacks using hundreds of combat drones and cruise missiles. Among the cities hit were Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Kryvyi Rih, Odessa, Kharkiv, and Dnipro.
In Kyiv, at least two deaths were reported, including a one-year-old infant. Eleven injuries were also confirmed. The strikes caused damage to several residential buildings, as reported by Kyiv's Mayor, Vitali Klitschko.
In Zaporizhzhia, attackers targeted an industrial area, although the extent of damage and casualties is not yet clear. In Kryvyi Rih, targets were hit within the city, but details are still emerging.
Reports of explosions were also heard in Odessa, with drones reportedly targeting residential buildings, according to "The Kyiv Independent".
It's important to note that these reports are unverified at the time of publication. The name of the Russian Air Force regional commander responsible for the heavy airstrikes on Ukraine is not explicitly mentioned in the provided search results.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian defenders have been regularly targeting Russian territory, focusing on energy facilities. However, the demands for an end to the war by Russian President Vladimir Putin are seen by many as amounting to a full surrender of Ukraine.
These air strikes mark a significant escalation in the conflict, and the situation remains fluid and uncertain. As more information becomes available, we will continue to update you on this developing story.
