Overview
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned of an imminent large-scale Russian attack before rockets and attack drones struck Kyiv overnight.
- Reporters in central Kyiv described numerous explosions, with one on-scene account estimating about 10 to 12 impacts and visible flames and smoke.
- Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said strikes hit non-residential buildings in Obolonskyi and warehouse facilities in Podilskyi, with damage assessments still preliminary.
- Separately, RBK Ukraine cited Sumy’s mayor reporting a drone strike there that killed one person and injured several others.
- The strikes come during the more than four-and-a-half-year Russian invasion of Ukraine and authorities are still verifying casualties, damage and whether further attacks are planned.
