In the early hours of the morning, a residential block in Kyiv was struck by Russian missiles, forcing many residents to seek shelter underground. Firefighters were initially unable to respond due to ongoing explosions from ballistic and cruise missiles. A local resident described the terrifying experience of waiting in a shelter while the building burned.

A spokesperson for Kyiv’s emergency services confirmed that the city endured a massive combined missile and drone attack, part of a continuing pattern of assaults over recent months. Four districts in Kyiv were hit, and other Ukrainian cities were also targeted. As daylight broke, the extent of the damage became visible — homes, shops, a school, and a metro station entrance were all affected.

As residents emerged from shelters, they faced the grim aftermath of yet another bombardment on their city.
