Russia's havoc broke out on Ukraine once again! Attacked with missiles and drones, 2 people died, 8 injured
Russia attacked Kiev with missiles and drones, killing 2 people and injuring 8 people, including 4 children. This attack took place before Russia's unilateral ceasefire and Ukrainian officials described it as part of Russia's aggressive policies.
The Ukrainian capital Kyiv was attacked by Russia with missiles and drones on Wednesday morning, killing at least 2 people and injuring 8 others, including 4 children. The attack in the Ukrainian capital came just before Russia announced a unilateral ceasefire, which was implemented by Russian President Vladimir Putin for the Victory Day celebrations in Moscow to mark 80 years since the end of World War II.
Ukrainian officials have confirmed this attack. They said that one ballistic missile and 28 drones were found in this air strike carried out by Russia. The air defense system shot down the missile and 11 drones during this attack.
Details of the attack and its consequences
According to the Kiev City Military Administration, a 5-storey residential building, located in the Shevchenkovsky district, was damaged by the debris of the drone. As a result, several apartments caught fire and the deceased were found there. Four people, including three children, were injured in the incident and are being treated in a hospital.
Drone Debris Sparks Fires, Damage in Kyiv
In addition, a fire broke out on the upper floors of a nine-story building in the Svyatoshinsky district, which was caused by drone debris. Five people were rescued and the fire spread over an area of 100 square meters. The upper floors of a high-rise building in the Dniprovsky district were partially damaged by a drone attack, but no injuries were reported.
Russian ceasefire and Ukrainian response
Russia declared a unilateral 72-hour ceasefire during the attack, which will be in place from Thursday to Saturday, to honor Victory Day celebrations in Moscow. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry appealed to foreign countries to send any military assistance or representatives during the ceasefire, as some countries have participated in the parade in the past. Ukrainian officials also warned that, despite the Russian attack, no real peace or stability could be expected during the ceasefire period.
Growing tensions between Russia and Ukraine
There was no immediate response from any Russian official after this attack. However, this attack once again proves that the war between Russia and Ukraine is not over and the conflict is constantly increasing. According to Ukrainian officials, this action of Russia is part of its aggressive policies and Ukraine must be fully prepared to defend itself.
