At least nine people have been killed and over 60 injured, including children and a pregnant woman, in a major overnight Russian missile and drone assault on Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital. The attacks triggered fires and destroyed a residential building, with some victims feared trapped under the rubble, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko.
Blasts also rocked Kharkiv, injuring two and damaging private homes. The strikes follow Ukrainian President Zelensky’s refusal to concede Crimea to Russia—a stance criticized by former U.S. President Donald Trump. Ukraine’s air force warned of potential strikes across nearly all regions, as rescue efforts continue.
