Russia initiated a series of attacks on Kyiv, starting with ballistic missiles and followed by a drone assault overnight. The Ukrainian capital was significantly disrupted, with air raid alerts sounding across Eastern Ukraine, including Kyiv, after the initial missile strikes. The attacks resulted in the deaths of two civilians and injuries to at least eight others, including four children. The casualties were reported after drones, including Shahed drones and North Korean missiles, targeted residential areas, causing damage to apartment buildings and sparking fires in several districts of the city. The strikes occurred near the US Embassy, adding to the gravity of the situation. The assault took place on the eve of a three-day ceasefire announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin, set to begin at midnight and last until the end of the weekend. Amidst ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, the city has suffered extensive destruction, and rescue efforts are ongoing.

After the ballistic strike, Russia attacked Kyiv with drones last night. So many people in Kyiv got hardly any sleep, trying to just stay safe. Two people were killed, eight more injured (four of them children). Debris fell on residential buildings, causing fires. https://t.co/z7faOfofxx https://t.co/NBoZ6BDPmZ
