Attack sees waves of drones and missiles strike Ukraine’s capital in one of the deadliest nights since the war began
Russia launched a sustained missile and drone attack on Kyiv in the early hours of Tuesday, killing at least 14 people and wounding 55 in what was one of the deadliest nights in the Ukrainian capital since the full-scale war began in spring 2022.
The toll seemed likely to rise as several sites across the capital were hit. At a nine-story Soviet-era apartment block in the west of Kyiv, an apparent direct missile hit had led to part of the building collapsing, leaving a gaping hole and a pile of rubble in the middle of the block.
