At least 14 died and dozens were injured in a Russian strike in Kiev

At least 14 people were killed at night and dozens of more wounded in the Russian strokes in the capital of the Ukrainian capital of Kiev, officials say.

It was one of the largest bombing of the capital since the beginning of a full -scale invasion of more than three years ago.

Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klimenko said 440 drones and 32 missiles were launched in the country.

Meanwhile, the Russian air defense units intercepted and destroyed 147 Ukrainian drones over the night, the Ministry of Defense of Moscow said.

The kyiv strikes lasted more than nine hours – sending residents who fled to the underground shelters to the north before sunrise.

Officials said the ballistic missile hit a nine -story apartment building in one area, with a total of 27 districts of the city.

“Waking up in a full nightmare: people who came under the rubble and full buildings fell apart,” the Ukrainian deputy Lesia Vasilenko wrote on X.

Klimenko said the rescue crews were still working on liberations.

Loud explosions were swinging from the city, as well as machine guns, which were used by mobile Ukrainian air defense units to beat drones.

Later in the morning in the city, the morning sirens thwarted rescue operations, interfering with the Ministry of Emergency Situations, looking for constipation for survivors.

In recent weeks, Russia has strengthened air attacks on Ukrainian cities, with the tactics of sending large waves of drones and baits aimed at overcoming Ukrainian air defense.

Kyiv started his own attacks, As direct negotiations between the warring parties could not ensure the ceasefire or a significant breakthrough.

President Valodimir Zelensky called Russia the last wave of strikes “pure terrorism”.

He accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of holding big strikes “solely because he can afford to continue this war.”

“It is bad when this world turns his eyes to it,” he said, “These are terrorists feel pain, not normal, peaceful people.”

The drones’s strikes also hit the southern Ukrainian city of Odessa, killed by one person and suffered at least 10 others, Klimenko said.

Zelenks hoped to talk to US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the G7 summit on Tuesday, but Trump stopped his stay amid escalation in the Middle East.

This news will come as a blow to Zelensky and its administration, which hoped to provide support for the strategic and military purposes of Ukraine.
