Kyiv was struck by Russian forces on Monday, with the city's mayor reporting an attack near an underground station and emergency crews coming under fire. Reuters witnesses reported a series of explosions and power outages in eastern districts of the city.
Renewed Russian missile attacks on Kyiv, including targeting emergency crews and civilian areas, underscore the ongoing conflict and its humanitarian toll.
Russian forces again targeted Kyiv late on Thursday, October 26, with ballistic missiles striking near a metro station and causing casualties, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said. A team of paramedics came under missile fire during the attack, which also damaged energy infrastructure. Loud explosions were heard in the Podilskyi and Obolon districts around 9:45 p.m. local time, shortly after Ukraine's Air Force warned of incoming missiles. Previous attacks on October 22 killed one person and injured at least 24, including four children, also damaging a metro bridge, an ambulance station, and residential buildings.
