NEWSAR · AI

Russia has threatened further strikes on Kyiv following a significant overnight aerial assault on the Ukrainian capital. This assault, which involved numerous missiles and drones, hit civilian targets including a shopping center, market, and residential buildings, causing destruction and damage. The article also mentions previous Russian strikes on Kyiv that killed 24 people, including children, and a Ukrainian drone attack on the Moscow region that killed three, which Ukraine's president deemed a "justified" response. Russia's warning for foreign nationals to leave Kyiv is presented as a potential tactic of psychological pressure, given Russia's ongoing large-scale strikes on the capital since its invasion.
