Russia launched its biggest air attack on Ukraine since the conflict began, striking the central government building in Kyiv. More than 800 drones and decoys were deployed overnight in this unprecedented assault, causing a major fire at the main government building—an area of the capital rarely targeted before.
Ukrainian officials reported at least three deaths, including an infant, and multiple injuries due to the strike. Fires also broke out in various residential buildings nearby, raising concerns over civilian casualties. The severity of the attack marked a dangerous escalation in the conflict.
This assault followed a period of no significant progress after the August 15 meeting between former US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The international community has expressed growing alarm over the developments.
Russia’s aggressive use of drones reflects its increasing reliance on unmanned aerial vehicles in the war context. Ukrainian authorities have condemned the strikes, accusing Russia of deliberately targeting civilians.
Experts view this attack as a critical moment shaping the future of the conflict and the stability of Ukraine’s capital. The response from global leaders is being closely monitored amid fears of further escalation.
