Major Russian attack on Kyiv, other Ukraine cities kills at least 9, wounds dozens

Early Tuesday, Russia launched air attacks on major Ukrainian cities including Kyiv, Dnipro, and Kharkiv, resulting in at least nine deaths and over 60 injuries. These strikes followed days of warnings about a planned major assault by Moscow. In Dnipro, a Russian missile and drone attack specifically killed five people and injured 25. Russia has been targeting Ukraine's power supply and infrastructure. This escalation occurs in a conflict that has lasted over four years, during which Ukraine has increased attacks on Russian oil facilities, sometimes causing casualties. Both Russia and Ukraine deny targeting civilians.
