Russia launched its largest aerial assault on Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, marking the second consecutive night of intense attacks. According to Ukrainian officials, the barrage included a record 728 drones along with multiple missiles. The strikes led to widespread fires and injured at least 10 people, further escalating the conflict that has lasted for over three years.
The Ukrainian Air Force reported that their air defense systems successfully destroyed most of the incoming drones and missiles. Despite these efforts, significant damage and ongoing fires affected several parts of the city.
The attacks came shortly after US President Donald Trump sharply criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin for refusing peace talks. Trump also pledged to increase military support to Kyiv amid the rising violence.
In response to the heightened threat level, NATO scrambled fighter jets to monitor and potentially respond to the situation. The record number of drones and missiles represents an intensification of Russia’s military tactics in the ongoing conflict.
This escalation contributes to the continuing tensions among Russia, Ukraine, and international parties advocating for de-escalation and peace.
