Russian overnight strikes injure ten in Kyiv

Russian forces launched a series of overnight strikes on Kyiv, leaving ten people injured, officials said. The attacks, which began shortly after midnight, involved a combination of missile and drone munitions targeting residential districts on the capital’s western outskirts. Emergency responders arrived within minutes, transporting the wounded to local hospitals where most were reported to have sustained non‑life‑threatening injuries, while two required surgery for shrapnel wounds.

Ukrainian authorities condemned the assault, labeling it a violation of international humanitarian law and urging the international community to hold Moscow accountable. The strikes come amid intensified fighting in the eastern and southern fronts, where both sides have escalated artillery and aerial operations in recent weeks. Ukrainian officials affirmed that security forces are bolstering air defenses around the capital and that investigations into the incident are ongoing.
