In a shocking turn of events, Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, was hit with a barrage of missiles on Monday, causing widespread destruction and injuring at least two people. This attack came shortly after Kyiv launched its largest assault on multiple Russian regions over the weekend. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that the city was targeted by a combination of drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles, leading residents to seek shelter in bomb shelters as explosions rocked the city.
Following the attack, Ukrainian officials vowed that there would be consequences for the enemy. Reports indicated that Russia intercepted and destroyed 158 Ukrainian drones in response, with missile strikes hitting areas such as Kharkiv, where dozens were injured in a shopping mall and events complex. Despite ongoing assaults in Russia’s Kursk Oblast, Ukrainian forces have managed to hold their ground in various regions.
Amidst the escalating tensions, a heartbreaking incident occurred when a childcare facility in the Russian city of Belgorod was destroyed in an attack by Kyiv. As a result, schools and kindergartens in the region will be closed or hold online classes for the safety of the children. The situation remains tense as both sides continue to engage in deadly conflict, with no end in sight to the devastating war.
