Russia is Kiev, other regions of drones and missile attack

Russia launched hundreds of drones and missiles in Kiev and other parts of Ukraine early on Sunday, killing at least four people and wounding dozens of dozens, in one of the most sustainable attacks on the capital since the war began on a large scale.

The neighboring Poland closed the airspace near two cities from the southeast of the country, and its air forces rushed to defend the planes in response to this until the danger passed.

The Ukraine Army said that Russia fired 595 drones and 48 missiles overnight and its air defenses shot down 568 drones and 43 missiles. And note that the main goal of the strike was the capital Kyiv.

Ukrainian President Folodimir Zelinski said that the attack, which lasted for more than 12 hours, had damaged the cardiology clinic, factories and residential buildings.

The Russian Ministry of Defense said on Sunday that it had carried out a “huge” attack on Ukraine using long -range weapons and drones in Ukraine to target military infrastructure, including airports.

Moscow denied targeting civilians in its war against Ukraine, despite the killing of thousands of residential areas that were widely affected by its attacks.

Zelenskyy urges international partners to act

Zelenskyy urged the international community to act decisively to cut the energy revenues in Russia that funds its invasion. Ukraine has so far failed to persuade US President Donald Trump to impose sanctions on Moscow.

“It is time for a long time for a long time, and we are counting on a strong response from the United States, Europe, G7 and G20,” he said in the Telegram

Kyiv woke up to loud bangs, drones fly in the sky of the region and flourishing air defenses. Smoke was drifted from one of the strikes sites through the morning sky with the end of the alert alert at 9:13 am (0613 GMT), after nearly seven hours.

Reuters visited a area on the outskirts of Kiev, where rows of almost newly built houses were destroyed, and cars parked cars due to falling debris.

The residents took off through the wreckage of a residential bloc after their windows were detonated by the explosion.

Some people rushed to the underground metro stations, where they followed the events on their mobile phones.

Ukraine’s defenses extended due to large -scale attacks

The attacks on such a scale extended air defenses limited in Ukraine throughout 2025. Zelensky said on Saturday an additional national missile system from Israel that was deployed and expected two others to arrive this fall.

He and other officials have asked international partners to protect the sky of Ukraine, but the air defense systems are limited to the availability and other countries are keen to enhance their defenses amid concerted threats from Russia.

Zelinski said that the Sunday attack targeted several regions, including the southern city of Zaborisvia, where the authorities said at least 16 people were injured.

Emergency services said at least four people were killed, while 67 people were reported throughout the country by the local authorities.

Timor Takchinko, head of Kiev military administration, said, although this was not officially confirmed.
