Four people were killed and several others injured as Kyiv came under a wave of missile and drone strikes overnight, in what follows reports of Ukrainian drone attacks on military facilities deep inside Russia.
Kyiv experienced a series of powerful explosions overnight as missile and drone strikes hit the Ukrainian capital, resulting in four deaths and 20 injuries, local officials said Friday. Sixteen of the injured were hospitalized, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko.
The strikes followed recent reports of Ukrainian drone operations that damaged Russian strategic bombers at air bases inside Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin, through a message conveyed by U.S. President Donald Trump, warned of a response.
In Kyiv’s Solomianskyi district, a drone reportedly struck an apartment building, causing structural damage and crushing nearby vehicles with falling debris. Metro services were disrupted after damage to tracks between stations, and railway lines in the region were also affected.
Ukraine’s air force said the attack involved both drones and missiles. Residents reported hearing air raid sirens, drone sounds, and a series of loud blasts.
Elsewhere in Ukraine, Russian strikes targeted infrastructure in the western city of Ternopil, injuring five and causing power outages. Authorities advised residents to stay indoors due to smoke and possible hazardous substances in the air.
