Russian forces launched a significant bombardment of Kyiv during the night, utilizing drones and missiles, resulting in the deaths of at least 10 people and injuring numerous others, according to city authorities. Reports indicated that explosions were audible throughout the wider region. This assault followed a warning from Ukrainian air forces that ballistic missiles were en route to the capital, a precaution taken after the cancellation of President Zelensky’s scheduled visit to Dublin on Wednesday, which was attributed to intelligence reports suggesting an imminent Russian attack.
The heavy shelling caused explosions impacting five of the broader districts within Kyiv. Regional governor Mykola Kalashnyk stated via Telegram that “during the night, the enemy started another massive attack in the Kyiv region using attack drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles.” The coordinated attack suggests a sustained effort by Russian forces against the Ukrainian capital. The reported casualties highlight the severity of the bombardment.
Authorities continue to monitor the situation in Kyiv following the intense barrage, confirming that the violence involved multiple types of weaponry targeting various parts of the city.
