Kyiv faced a large-scale Russian drone and missile assault overnight, with explosions and gunfire echoing throughout the city, forcing residents to shelter in subway stations.
The military reported intercepting six ballistic missiles and shooting down 128 drones, while an additional 117 drones were neutralized through electronic warfare after disappearing from radar.
While Kyiv was the primary target, missile strikes also hit the Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, and Zaporizhzhia regions.
Overall, the Russian assault impacted several oblasts, including Kyiv, Dnipro, Odesa, Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhia.
The attack came just hours after Russia and Ukraine began a major prisoner exchange, the first step in a deal reached during recent talks in Istanbul.
Debris from intercepted missiles and drones landed in at least four Kyiv districts, according to Tymur Tkachenko, head of the city’s military administration. Six people required medical assistance, and fires broke out in the Solomianskyi district.
The air raid alert lasted more than seven hours, with sirens warning of incoming threats.
Before the attack, Mayor Vitalii Klitschko alerted citizens to over 20 Russian drones approaching Kyiv. During the strike, he confirmed that drone debris struck a shopping mall and residential building in the Obolon district. Emergency services were dispatched to the affected areas.
