Russia carried out its largest drone attack on Kyiv since the start of its full-scale invasion, according to Ukrainian officials, as air-raid sirens sounded across the capital and nearby regions. The assault marked another sharp escalation in Russia’s campaign against civilian infrastructure and urban centers.

Ukrainian authorities said the strike placed residents under sustained threat overnight, with emergency alerts spreading across the city. Officials did not immediately report full damage or casualty figures in the initial update, but the scale of the attack underscored the continuing danger faced by civilians.

The bombardment comes as Russia intensifies long-range strikes on Ukraine, putting added pressure on air defenses and emergency services already stretched by repeated attacks. Kyiv, a frequent target throughout the war, has seen waves of drones and missiles aimed at disrupting daily life and undermining civilian safety.

The latest assault highlights the human cost of the conflict and the vulnerability of cities far from the front line. For Ukrainian residents, the attack is another reminder that the war’s impact continues to reach homes, neighborhoods, and public life across the country.
