At least two people were killed and several others injured in an overnight Russian missile attack on a residential area of Kyiv, leaving residents standing outside their burning block of flats.
Video footage shows residents reacting to the strike, with one describing the area as "a completely civilian area." The attack has left the community in shock as they survey the damage to their homes.
Zelenskyy on US Warning
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said no advance warning from the US was given before the strikes. His comments come amid broader concerns about the level of support and intelligence sharing from Washington.
The overnight assault is part of a series of Russian attacks on Ukraine that have left 600,000 people without power. Zelenskyy has accused Moscow of "disrespecting" the US in its continued aggression.
Wider Impact
The missile attack on Kyiv is one of several recent strikes targeting Ukrainian infrastructure and civilian areas. The resulting power outages have affected hundreds of thousands of people across the country, compounding the humanitarian toll of the conflict.
As residents in Kyiv begin to assess the damage and mourn the victims, the attack underscores the ongoing threat to civilian life in Ukraine's cities.
