Russia launched a mass drone and missile attack on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, early Thursday morning, injuring at least four people, local authorities reported. The attack caused damage across six districts, according to Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv's Military Administration. He warned that Russia was targeting the city with both ballistic missiles and drones.
Residential Areas Hit
In the Darnytsia district, a residential building partially collapsed, burying people under the rubble. In the Dnieper district, a drone struck the roof of a five-story residential building. Another building in the Dniprovskyi district was also damaged. Explosions were heard across the capital early Thursday morning.
Previous Daytime Attack
The attack came just hours after a rare daytime assault on Kyiv that killed at least six people, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. That attack involved at least 800 drones and lasted for hours, aiming to cause as much “pain and grief” as possible, Zelenskyy said.
