11 wounded in overnight Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv

A missile and drone strike launched by Russia overnight on Kyiv early Saturday wounded at least 11 people, including a child, according to Ukraine’s State Emergency Service. The attack, which struck residential areas in the capital, prompted emergency responders to treat multiple injuries and evacuate affected residents.

The incident follows a series of Russian missile and drone raids on Ukrainian cities in recent weeks, as Kyiv continues to defend against escalating aerial assaults. Ukrainian officials have reiterated that the strikes target civilian infrastructure and are part of Russia’s broader strategy to destabilize the capital. The State Emergency Service has called for heightened security measures and has urged residents to seek shelter in designated safe zones.

Authorities are coordinating medical care for the wounded and assessing damage to the affected neighborhoods. Kyiv’s emergency services remain on high alert as the conflict persists, with the Ukrainian government pledging to investigate the attack and hold the perpetrators accountable.
