In Ukraine, at least 10 people were killed and 46 others were injured after Russia launched a ballistic missile attack on the capital, Kyiv, this morning. This came a day before a key NATO summit in Turkey, which US President Donald Trump is expected to attend.
Ukraine’s Air Force said Russia used ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones in the attack. A residential building in the Podilskyi district partially collapsed.
In the Darnytsia district, several multistory buildings were damaged and people were believed to be trapped under the rubble. Explosions echoed across the city as civilians sought shelter in metro stations.
Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said at least two districts reported fires or damage caused by falling debris. Air raid sirens were activated across the capital shortly before the explosions.
The latest attack came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky yesterday warned that intelligence suggested Russia is preparing a new massive strike.
