Russia Kills Three, Including Infant, in Kyiv Drone and Missile Attacks

A recent mass Russian drone and missile attack on Kyiv resulted in the deaths of three people, including an infant and an elderly woman, and injured 18 others, among them a pregnant woman. The assault caused numerous fires, severely damaging several government buildings in the Pecherskyi district and multiple residential buildings across the city, with some structures partially collapsing. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko and military officials condemned the strikes as deliberate attacks on civilian targets. The attacks also disrupted power in central Ukrainian cities like Kremenchuk and damaged infrastructure in Kryvyi Rih and Odesa, although no injuries were reported there. Eyewitnesses reported thick smoke rising from the government building where the fire broke out after the barrage of drones and missile strikes. These attacks mark a continued escalation in Russia's campaign to target Ukrainian urban centers and infrastructure.
