Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, was struck by Russian missiles attack that resulted in at least one fatality and injured several others during rush hour on Friday. The assault caused fires in multiple buildings and significant damage to office structures.

Serhiy Popko, head of Kyiv's military administration, reported that eight missiles were launched, including hypersonic Kinzhal and Iskander/KN-23 ballistic missiles. Ukrainian air defenses engaged in efforts to intercept the missiles. Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed that four of the injured individuals were hospitalized.

In response, Russia's defense ministry stated that the missile strikes on Kyiv were retaliatory actions following alleged Ukrainian attacks on Russia's Rostov region. These attacks reportedly involved U.S.-made ATACMS and British-made Storm Shadow missiles.

This incident underscores the ongoing tensions and the escalating nature of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
