Russian forces unleashed a sustained overnight drone strike on Kyiv, injuring at least 23 civilians and damaging critical railway infrastructure. Ukrainian officials reported fires across multiple apartment rooftops and significant disruption to commuter lines. The country’s air defense systems intercepted many drones, but local hospitals were overwhelmed with patients suffering from smoke inhalation and minor injuries. Government bodies in Kyiv urged residents to stay vigilant and signaled that retaliation efforts may be forthcoming.
