Russian missile strikes hit Kyiv and nearby region, killing at least eight
Ukraine said a large overnight attack on Kyiv and surrounding areas left at least eight people dead and damaged homes and warehouses.
Russian missile strikes hit Kyiv and the surrounding region overnight on Thursday, killing at least eight people and wounding others, according to Ukrainian authorities. The attacks damaged apartment buildings and warehouse facilities in what officials described as a major assault.
Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said rescue crews were working at several sites after the strikes. Al Jazeera reported that ballistic missiles were among the weapons used and said more than two dozen people were injured in Kyiv.
The BBC said the attack affected both the capital and nearby areas, with apartment blocks among the structures hit. The reports did not immediately give a full account of the total damage across all locations.
The strikes came amid continued Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure during the war, with Kyiv remaining a frequent target.
