Ukraine’s air force said that Russia began the attack at 6 p.m. Monday, using ballistic, cruise and anti-radar missiles, as well as 218 drones and decoys. About a third of the drones were reportedly jet-powered. The main targets were the Kyiv and Odesa regions, the air force said in a statement on Telegram. The overnight strikes marked the sixth consecutive day of Russian attacks on Kyiv, following an unprecedented stretch of air raid alerts that began last week. The warnings continued at a near-constant pace throughout the rest of the week, forming a sustained, multiday barrage that has increasingly involved the use of fast, jet-powered drones. The relentless attacks have subjected Kyiv and its residents to prolonged danger and disruption, with strikes coming during both the nighttime and daytime hours. The latest attack struck civilian infrastructure and residential buildings in several districts of Kyiv, with eight people killed in the city itself and three others in the surrounding region. Russian strikes killed seven people in the Darnytskyi district of the capital, authorities said. One person was seriously wounded and hospitalized, the emergency service said. At another site in the district, an explosion wounded two people, including a child.
