A major Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv has killed at least ten people and wounded forty-six others. The strike, which targeted the capital's Podilskyi district, hit residential areas and caused a high-rise building to partially collapse.
The assault, involving ballistic missiles and drones, occurred just before a scheduled NATO summit. The timing underscores escalating geopolitical tensions and follows a broader pattern of intensified Russian attacks on Ukrainian urban centers.
Market analysts note the attack coincides with diminishing prospects for Ukraine to reclaim Crimea. The response from NATO leaders at the summit will be closely watched for signals on future international support.
