In brief
Russian missile and drone strikes hit Kyiv overnight, killing 12 people, including six rail workers at a train depot. Fires erupted in three city districts and a residential building in Boryspil was hit. Ukrainian officials say the strikes used jet drones and ballistic missiles in a bid to exhaust air defences. The war has brought pressure from allies such as India’s Modi.
Overnight Russian missile and drone strikes in Kyiv killed 12 people, six of them rail workers at a Ukrainian state train depot.
Fire erupted in three city districts, while a residential building in Boryspil was also hit. The attacks mark the sixth day of sustained strikes aiming to deplete Ukraine’s air defences.
Russian officials say the strikes target military and energy facilities, but Ukrainian leaders report the use of jet drones and ballistic missiles. The war has drawn pressure from allies such as India’s Modi.
Rescue crews worked through the night, evacuating hundreds and noting damage across eight other regions.
