In a tragic escalation of the ongoing conflict, Russian forces launched a substantial aerial attack on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, overnight, resulting in at least 15 fatalities and injuries to dozens. This assault is reportedly one of the largest bombardments since Russia's full-scale invasion began over three years ago. Ukrainian interior minister, Ihor Klymenko, revealed that the onslaught involved 440 drones and 32 missiles, with strikes continuing for over nine hours. This prolonged attack prompted residents to seek refuge in underground shelters, triggered chaos, and left many trapped in collapsed buildings. Furthermore, while Kyiv faced these devastating attacks, the southern city of Odesa recorded fatalities as drone strikes hit, underscoring the persistent threat to Ukrainian cities. President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attacks as "pure terrorism," criticizing the global inaction surrounding the conflict. In light of the situation, the Ukrainian government stresses the need for ongoing international support amidst a surge in military aggression.
