Overnight Russian Attack on Kyiv Region Kills 4
UKRAINE – An overnight Russian attack on Kyiv region left 4 people dead and 48 others injured, according to local authorities on Thursday.
“As of 7:40 (am), four people are confirmed dead – a 12-year-old boy, a woman, and two men. At least 48 people have been injured, including a 9-year-old boy, three police officers, and four medics who arrived to assist victims,” a police statement said.
Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko earlier announced the latest wave of attack on Telegram, saying the casualties included four medical workers who were wounded by debris while responding to an emergency call in the Obolonskyi district.
Eleven victims required hospitalization while others received outpatient treatment, he said.
The strikes caused widespread damage to residential areas, with rocket fragments hitting the sixth floor of a 16-story building in Podilskyi district.
Klitschko said emergency services were working on the ground as fires broke out in non-residential buildings and vehicles across the city.
