Kyiv was struck early this morning by Russian ballistic missiles, triggering explosions and widespread alarm among residents of the Ukrainian capital.
Ukrainian authorities confirmed that a woman and a child were injured in the attack and were transported to hospital for medical treatment. Emergency services were deployed shortly after the blasts as air raid sirens sounded across the city.
In response to the strike, air forces from Ukraine and Poland scrambled fighter jets, while air defense systems were activated to protect the region’s airspace. Officials also urged citizens to remain in shelters until the danger had passed, as the situation continued to develop.
The latest attack comes amid ongoing hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, with Kyiv frequently targeted by missile and drone strikes during the conflict.
