Russia launched a significant ballistic missile attack targeting Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv and another major urban center, according to reports from multiple international sources. The attack resulted in casualties and injuries, though reports vary on the specific numbers.
According to BBC World, at least four people were killed and 36 or more were injured in the attack on Ukraine’s two largest cities. France24 reported that in Kyiv specifically, one person was killed and eight others were injured in the overnight Russian attack. This discrepancy in casualty figures may reflect different geographic scope or timing of reports.
Ukrainian authorities noted that many residents in Kyiv did not have sufficient time to seek shelter before the attack struck. The incident marks part of the ongoing military conflict, with reports also indicating that Ukraine has continued its own operations targeting Russian infrastructure.
