The attack came after the Russian president publicly dismissed the idea of a temporary truce in Ukraine, claiming it would only benefit the Ukrainians.
A series of powerful explosions rocked Kyiv on Friday morning, causing widespread damage across multiple districts in Ukraine’s capital as air defences intercepted the incoming missiles.According to Mayor Vitali Klitschko, the strikes left debris in the Holosiivskyi, Solomianskyi, Shevchenkivskyi, and Dniprovskyi districts, causing fires on rooftops and damaging vehicles. The Holosiivskyi district was the hardest hit, local media reported, with missile debris damaging office buildings, gas pipelines, and civilian vehicles.Kyiv’s Military Administration reported one fatality and three injuries in Holosiivskyi, while Mayor Klitschko later said there were seven injuries across the city but made no mention of deaths.The city’s authorities claim Russia used a combination of Kinzhal ballistic missiles and either Iskander-M or KN-23 systems.The Russian Defence Ministry, meanwhile, claimed the attack was a response to Kyiv’s strike on the Kamensky Combine in the Rostov Region, and said Russian forces had launched a strike with long-range precision weapons targeting the Ukrainian security service’s command post and the Kyiv Luch design bureau, which develops various anti-aircraft and missile systems.The missile strikes followed an overnight drone assault on Kyiv, where all drones were reportedly intercepted by Ukrainian forces. A separate drone attack in the Boryspil district of Kyiv region ignited a large warehouse fire.Meanwhile, heavy Russian artillery shelling in Kherson damaged apartment buildings, killing one person and injuring six. Ukrainian authorities also reported a missile strike on Kryvyi Rih, where five people were injured and residential buildings damaged.
