Russia has carried out a mass missile and drone attack on Ukraine’s capital, Keiv, killing at least 10 people Officials say people and more than 100 others were injured.
The drone has broken into the apartment block, destroyed dozens of flats and Ukraine’s interior minister said that the country was hit by 440 drones and 32 missiles.
Officials initially said 15 people were killed in the capital, but then the number was reduced to 10, with another two casualties in the southern port city, Odesa.
The attack has been the biggest in the capital throughout the night since the Russian full -scale war began, and President Volodimair Jelensky said it was “one of the most terrible attacks.”
The Russian Defense Ministry said it was targeted by Ukraine’s military-industrial complexes and struck all its goals.
The strikes on Keiv lasted more than nine hours – after midnight, the residents sent residents to the underground shelter.
The Ballistic Missile crashed into a nine -storey apartment building in one district, with a total of 27 places in the city. There are fears that the entrance to the building of the Nai wi Solomiansky district crashed and the number of casualties could increase.
A 62 -year -old US citizen belongs to the killed, Kaiv’s Mayor Vitaly Klitsko said.
ReitersStanding in front of the ruins of the building, Klitsko said more than 40 apartments have been destroyed and most people can be trapped under the rubble.
He alleged that Russia would kill cluster bombs filled with ball bearings.
“Wake up in a complete nightmare: People who were trapped under rubble and full buildings have collapsed,” wrote on Ukrainian MP Lesia Wasilenko X.
Interior Minister Ihor Klimenko said various buildings, including housing, critical infrastructure and educational facilities, are subject to Russian attacks.
He said that by noon, people were still in the ruins and the rescue was underway at two sites. Klimenko explained that early mistakes made in counting the dead are frequent because of the misconduct of body parts.
Mobile Ukrainian Air Protection Plants trembled the city early Tuesday morning with a commotion of machine guns used to firewood drones.
In the morning most sirens disrupted the rescue operation in the city, disrupting emergency workers who look for the remains for survivors.
In recent weeks, Russia has intensified its airway against Ukrainian cities, with the technique of sending large drones and decoes designed to immersing Ukrainian air protection.
Keiv has launched its own attack, As direct talks failed between the sides of a ceasefire or a fighter to seek significant progress.
Russia has alleged that Ukrainian forces were on a missile strike on Tuesday in the occupied Donetsk of East Ukraine, and Russian -appointed officers were injured in at least 10 people.
The reported 147 Ukrainian drones were shot down in nine Russian regions throughout the night, Russian news agencies said.
ReitersPresident Jelensky, who traveled to the G7 summit in Canada, called the recent strikes of Russia as “pure terrorism”.
Russian President Vladimir Putin alleged that he was carrying out a large number of attacks because he was able to continue this war.
“This is bad when the powerful of this world is blinded by this,” he said: “Terrorists must feel pain. Not common, peaceful people.”
Drone attacks were hit by Southern Ukrainian city Odesa, killing two people and injuring 10 people, officials said.
Jelensky hoped to talk to US President Donald Trump, except for the G7 summit on Tuesday, but Trump reduces his stay in the midst of an increasing crisis in the Middle East.
The news will come to a blow to Jelensky and his administration, hoping to get US support at the conference for Ukraine’s strategic and military goals.
Nevertheless, the UK and its allies are expected to announce additional restrictions on Russia on Tuesday, in constant efforts to retain pressure on Moscow about the war in Ukraine.
