In brief
Amid a surge of Russian aerial raids, Kyiv suffered a missile hit that set a market ablaze, killing three civilians and wounding over ten. Ukrainian air defenses reportedly shot down three airborne weapons and nearly a hundred drones, while Moscow’s mayor declared about 600 enemy drones launched toward the capital. Separate strikes in Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk left two dead, a child injured, and 14 people hurt. A Wildberries warehouse near Moscow was also hit, though a third Ukrainian strike injured three in Russia. These events underscore an intensified conflict with increased use of guided munitions and drone swarm assaults.
In the latest wave of hostilities, Russian aircraft carried out a missile strike on a market in Kyiv that caused a massive fire. Three civilians were killed, and more than ten people sustained injuries when the market erupted in flames.
While the strike was underway, Ukrainian air‑defence units intercepted a barrage of threats, shooting down three Russian missiles and nearly a hundred drones. Russian officials later reported that about 600 drones had been launched toward Kyiv overnight, though approximately one‑third were destroyed.
Other cities were also impacted. In the southern region of Zaporizhzhia, a guided bomb destroyed a home, killing two individuals. Dnipropetrovsk registered one death and 14 injuries. In Moscow, officials confirmed that the Wildberries warehouse in Koledino suffered a strike, leading to a large plume of smoke as on‑site firefighters combated a fire.
These incidents illustrate a marked intensification of aerial attacks by Russia across Ukraine, with Kyiv's military targeting key logistics hubs to curb Russian supply lines.
