Headline: UNCAPTIONED: 15 Killed in Russia's Deadliest Attack on Kyiv in Nearly a Year
Caption: 15 Killed in Russia’s Deadliest Attack on Kyiv in Nearly a Year. Russia launched a devastating barrage of drones and missiles on Kyiv, killing at least 15 people and injuring 124. The strike marks the deadliest attack on Ukraine’s capital in nearly a year, according to the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission. One missile hit a multi-story residential building, leaving a huge gap and pulling five bodies from the rubble. Rescue operations continued through Tuesday afternoon as emergency crews searched for survivors in the collapsed building. Eyewitnesses described being trapped in their homes, with cars and apartments destroyed by the blast. The attack involved hundreds of drones and missiles, with 27 locations in Kyiv’s districts targeted. Ukrainian officials report that Russian airborne assaults are becoming more frequent, concentrated, and harder to combat. Russia has ramped up its airstrike campaign, launching as many as 479 drones and missiles in a single night. Ukrainian defense forces are struggling to cope with the high-altitude attacks, which evade machine gun defenses. The Kyiv Military Administration confirmed the extent of the damage, with many victims being hospitalized in critical condition.
