Russia launched a large-scale missile attack on Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, early this morning, killing at least four people and injuring dozens of others. The attack struck residential areas and infrastructure across the city, according to reports from BBC and Al Jazeera.
Ukraine has faced repeated Russian attacks throughout the conflict, which began in 2022. Russia regularly uses missiles and drones to target cities and military sites across the country, despite ongoing international efforts to negotiate peace.
The attack affected civilians going about their daily lives in Kyiv. Rescue workers searched through damaged buildings to find survivors and treat the injured. Schools and businesses in the area closed or evacuated as a safety measure.
Ukrainian officials are assessing the full damage from the strike. The country's military continues to defend against Russian advances while President Trump's administration states it is negotiating toward a peace agreement between the two countries.
