Russian Missile, Drone Barrage Kills 10, Injures Dozens in Kyiv

A massive Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv killed at least 10 people, including children, and injured dozens more, causing extensive damage to residential buildings and civilian infrastructure. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the strikes as a blatant rejection of peace negotiations and called for tougher sanctions against Russia, urging China and Hungary to take a firmer stance. The assault involved hundreds of drones and missiles, including hypersonic Kinzhal and ballistic missiles, launched from multiple directions, leading to widespread destruction and disruption, including damage to a high-speed train depot. Kyiv's mayor Vitalii Kliciko and the head of Kyiv's military administration, Tymur Tkachenko, reported the scale of devastation and ongoing rescue efforts amid fears of more casualties under the rubble. Despite calls for ceasefire and diplomacy, Russia has intensified attacks, prompting Zelensky to emphasize the need for accountability and international response. The attacks occurred amid ongoing diplomatic activity, including Zelensky's talks with U.S. President Donald Trump and planned Ukraine delegation meetings in New York to discuss ending the war.
