Overnight, Russia launched the largest air attack of the ongoing war on Ukraine, targeting Kyiv’s government complex for the first time. The assault included more than 800 drones and decoys, marking a significant escalation in the conflict.
Details of the Attack
The strike caused a fire in the main government building and inflicted extensive damage in the center of Kyiv. Additionally, fires broke out in nearby residential areas, raising serious concerns about civilian safety.
Casualties and Damage
Ukrainian officials have confirmed:
- At least three fatalities, including an infant
- Multiple injuries among civilians
- Severe structural damage to key government facilities
Reactions and Implications
The attack surprised Kyiv residents, as the government complex had been largely unaffected in earlier hostilities. Ukrainian authorities accused Russia of deliberately targeting civilians, while international leaders expressed alarm over this new level of escalation. The strike came shortly after a failed diplomatic meeting involving former US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Ongoing Response
Emergency services worked tirelessly through the night to extinguish fires and assist the injured. Kyiv remains on high alert due to continuing threats and the display of advanced Russian military capabilities, intensifying fears of further destruction.
