Russia Kills US Citizen in Deadly Drone, Missile Attack on Kyiv

A 62-year-old American citizen was killed during a large-scale Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, which involved 175 drones, 14 cruise missiles, and two ballistic missiles. The man died in the Solomianskyi district, in a residential building near where emergency responders were assisting other victims, with medical personnel confirming his death at the scene. The attack, the deadliest on Kyiv this year, caused significant damage to residential buildings, educational institutions, and industrial infrastructure, resulting in at least 16 fatalities and over 120 injuries. Ukrainian officials, including Kyiv's mayor Vitali Klitschko and President Volodymyr Zelensky, condemned the assault, emphasizing Russia's intent to continue the war. Emergency services urged residents to heed air raid warnings and seek shelter amid ongoing risks. U.S. officials have not yet commented on the incident, while the conflict and nighttime strikes by Russia persist despite international efforts to end the war.
