BREAKING: Russia unleashes massive missile and drone strike on Kyiv, Ukraine reels under heavy bombardment

Russia carried out a massive and intense missile and drone attack on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, marking one of the most severe escalations in recent months. The strikes included hypersonic and cruise missiles along with a large wave of drones, targeting multiple areas across the city. Explosions were reported at several locations, causing widespread destruction, fires, and panic among civilians. Ukrainian authorities described the assault as one of the heaviest in the ongoing war, which has been continuing since 2022. Reports suggest casualties and injuries, with residential and infrastructure damage in multiple districts of Kyiv. The attack is believed to be a retaliatory response following earlier Ukrainian strikes on Russian-held areas, including incidents that caused civilian and student casualties. The situation has significantly escalated tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with fears that the conflict is entering an even more destructive phase. The scale and intensity of the strike highlight the growing use of advanced missile systems and drones, making the war increasingly severe and unpredictable.
