Story Timeline
11 days · 12 summary articles
Russia launched one of its largest ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv overnight, killing at least one person and injuring 16 others, according to Ukrainian officials. The attack involved around four dozen ballistic missiles, the largest number in a single attack since the war began.
Russian forces also launched glide bombs towards Zaporizhzhia, killing two people and injuring 42 others, including eight children. The attack destroyed floors and damaged windows and balconies in residential buildings.
In response, Ukrainian forces struck three oil depots and a fuel facility in Russia's southern Stavropol region. President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that three Russian “shadow fleet” tankers were hit in the Black Sea. These strikes follow Ukrainian drone attacks that killed at least nine people at warehouses belonging to a major Russian shopping website.
The escalation has caused significant casualties. A Russian strike on a Kharkiv postal terminal killed four people and wounded 20 others. Russian missile strikes on a Turkish-owned cargo ship killed six people, including a Ukrainian maritime pilot. The ship, carrying grain, was hit by three cruise missiles near Odesa. Eight crew members were rescued, with six confirmed dead and four missing.
The attack on Kyiv involved 41 missiles, causing widespread damage to buildings and vehicles. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported damage to residential buildings, warehouses, a supermarket, and a dormitory.
Viktoria Shejko, a Kyiv resident, described taking shelter with her family as missiles exploded: "When the alarm started, we checked that there were ballistics, then went into the corridor. Then it started exploding one missile after another."
Russian officials claimed the attack targeted military-linked sites, but residential areas were also hit.
Polish Defense Minister emphasized the need to maintain support for Ukraine.
Russian forces have increased ballistic missile strikes on Kyiv as Ukraine faces a shortage of air defenses.
In Moscow, Mayor Sergey Sobyanin reported over 400 drones targeted the city overnight, with most neutralized by air defenses. Six people were hospitalized with injuries.
