Kyiv residential building split in two after Russia resumes massive aerial offensive
The strike damaged infrastructure across six districts, with rescue operations underway to extract trapped civilians from rubble.
Russia has launched a massive overnight drone and missile attack on Kyiv, resulting in at least one death and sixteen injuries. The strike, described as a significant aerial offensive, caused damage across six of the city’s districts, affecting residential buildings and civilian infrastructure.
One multistory residential building partly collapsed, splitting the structure in two and burying people under the rubble. Rescue workers are currently extracting injured individuals from the debris, though the exact number of people trapped remains unconfirmed.
The assault resumed after Moscow unilaterally ended a three-day ceasefire on Tuesday. Historical context indicates this is part of a renewed large-scale aerial assault on the capital, with previous reports noting the deployment of over 670 attack drones and 56 ballistic missiles in similar offensives.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed the heavy attack and the extent of the damage to infrastructure. The assault targeted both the capital city and surrounding regions, with debris striking non-residential structures and vehicles.
Casualty figures may rise as rescue operations continue. The specific identity or nationality of the deceased has not been detailed in the source material.
