Russian Ballistic Missiles Barrage Targets Kyiv, Causes Widespread Damage
Kyiv Post correspondents reported hearing at least eight powerful blasts as the Ukrainian Air Force issued repeated warnings of high-speed missile targets.
Debris fell in the Holosiivskyi, Solomianskyi, Shevchenkivskyi, and Dniprovskyi districts, where emergency services rushed to contain fires and assess the damage.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed that missile debris had ignited cars in the Holosiivskyi district, where the first casualty was reported by 8:30 a.m., followed by another victim who required hospitalization.
Fires also broke out in the Solomianskyi district, while debris damaged a roof in the Dniprovskyi district and hit an unfinished building.
Monitoring channels indicated that Russian forces fired at least five Iskander-M and KN-23 ballistic missiles from the Bryansk region, along with two X-47M2 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles launched from MiG-31K jets. Despite the swift response of air defense systems, the attacks caused widespread destruction and disruption in the capital.
Authorities continue to evaluate the extent of the damage and assist those affected, as Kyiv endures another wave of relentless missile strikes.
