A Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv killed at least five people, ending a three-day ceasefire, according to multiple reports. The strikes, which included jet-powered drones and missiles, caused significant damage and explosions across the city. The attack comes as tensions escalate between Russia and Ukraine, with NATO scrambling war planes in a preventive measure.
At least two people were killed and seven injured in the attack, with reports indicating the violence resumed after a brief pause. Poland activated preventive air operations as the strikes continued. Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with buildings damaged and emergency services working to contain the situation.
The attack follows a period of relative calm, during which both sides had agreed to a temporary ceasefire. However, the resumption of hostilities has raised concerns about the potential for further escalation. Ukraine’s allies, including Britain, have continued to support Kyiv in its defense against Russian aggression.
The situation remains volatile, with no immediate indication of a broader conflict. Emergency responders are on high alert, and the international community is closely monitoring developments.
