Kyiv Hit by Missile Attack, 9 Killed, 22 Injured

Russian forces launched a series of ballistic missiles into Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, overnight on Saturday, killing at least nine people and wounding 22, Kyiv authorities reported. The strikes, which struck residential and public areas, were part of a broader pattern of missile attacks that have intensified in recent weeks.

Both sides have escalated their offensive operations, with Moscow expanding its long‑range campaign against towns and cities across Ukraine. The latest missile barrage follows a series of similar attacks that have targeted infrastructure and civilian centers, prompting heightened security measures and emergency medical responses across the city.

The incident underscores the continued escalation of hostilities in the region. Ukrainian officials have called for international condemnation, while the international community remains on alert for further developments in the conflict.
