Ukraine has accused Russia of carrying out a deadly drone and missile attack that killed at least 12 people, including an Indian citizen, across Kyiv and other regions. The attacks, which targeted residential areas and railway infrastructure, were described as an escalation by Ukrainian officials. Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha confirmed the casualties in a statement on X, highlighting the scale of the assault.
The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has warned airlines and foreign governments that the increasing use of drones by Kyiv is making Russian airspace unsafe for aircraft. This comes amid growing concerns over the threat posed by these unmanned systems. Germany has also blamed Russia for a recent drone attack in Leipzig, citing elements linked to its hybrid operations in the conflict.
Meanwhile, Ireland has pledged €10 million in aid for Ukraine’s combat training, reflecting the ongoing international support for Kyiv. The Ukrainian air force has urged residents to remain in shelters due to the continued threat of ballistic weapons and other attacks. As the conflict intensifies, the use of drones and missiles continues to shape the battlefield and international response.
