In Ukraine’s capital, the night brought one of the biggest Russian attacks since the start of the war. In a massive missile and drone attack, a residential building partially collapsed. Among the dead, who are still being counted, is a 12-year-old child.
It was almost four in the morning when terror returned to the capital of Ukraine.
In a single night, at least 56 missiles and 670 drones hit the country. Kiev was the main target. The moment of one of the impacts was captured by the cafeteria’s monitoring cameras.
Across the street, in the Darnitskyi district, a nine-story residential building partially collapsed.
The provisional balance is as tragic as expected. By late afternoon on Thursday, there were at least eight confirmed deaths, including a 12-year-old child.
Young hero
In the midst of the rubble, fatalities continue to emerge, but also acts of heroism. Ivan, 18 years old, pulled a woman alive from the wreckage.
The mayor of Kiev warns that the number of fatalities is likely to continue to rise.
According to Volodymyr Zelensky, a total of 180 locations were hit across the country last night, including more than 50 residential buildings.
