Overview

• Local officials reported at least 10 dead and dozens injured after strikes hit more than 20 locations, including a rare impact in central Kyiv and a five‑story building collapse in Darnytskyi, with children among the victims and the toll expected to rise.
• Kyiv’s administration said nearly 100 buildings were damaged across seven districts, including a downtown shopping mall, as fires burned and rescuers searched rubble for survivors.
• Ukraine’s Air Force said it downed 563 of 598 drones and 26 of 31 missiles launched nationwide during the overnight assault.
• Russia’s Defense Ministry asserted it targeted Ukrainian military infrastructure and claimed to have intercepted 102 Ukrainian drones, statements that contrast with Ukrainian accounts of extensive civilian damage.
• Authorities reported power cuts affecting about 60,000 residents and rail delays after infrastructure damage, as the attack—Kyiv’s largest in weeks—followed recent Trump‑Putin talks and preceded Ukrainian meetings with U.S. officials in New York.
