Russia Launches Massive Drone and Missile Barrage on Kyiv, Killing 10

Ukraine requested an emergency UN Security Council session to spotlight a strike it says undercuts fragile peace efforts.

Overview

  • Ukraine said Russia launched 675 attack drones and 56 missiles in what analysts called Thursday's saturation strike designed to swamp air defenses.
  • Air defenses shot down 652 drones and 41 missiles, yet 15 missiles and 23 drones hit at least 24 sites and falling debris damaged 18 more areas.
  • Kyiv authorities reported 10 dead, at least 45 injured, and about 20 people missing under rubble as crews searched collapsed residential buildings.
  • Odesa, Kherson, and Kharkiv also reported injuries, and damage in Kyiv included homes, a school, and a veterinary clinic.
  • Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha requested an urgent UN Security Council meeting after the assault, as European leaders condemned the attack for mocking recent ceasefire hopes.
