Russia unleashed a night of terror on Kyiv after launching a colossal barrage of more than 700 drones and missiles at Ukraine in one of the most devastating assaults of the war. At least one person was killed, and 33 were wounded after Vladimir Putin ordered a huge overnight blitz involving 675 drones and 56 missiles, according to Ukrainian President VolodymyrZelensky.
Explosions ripped across the Ukrainian capital as residential blocks, schools and civilian infrastructure were pounded in the attack. A multi-storey apartment building in Kyiv’s Darnytsia district partially collapsed after being struck, splitting the structure in half and trapping residents beneath the rubble.
Ukraine’s emergency services said at least 10 people were pulled alive from the wreckage as rescue workers clawed through smouldering debris searching for survivors. Energy infrastructure in Kremenchuk was also hit, with the port and residential areas in Chornomorsk targeted.

“Then the house shook violently and there was a loud bang, breaking the glass in my house,” she said after hearing explosions and rockets flying overhead around 3am.
Mr Zelensky saidRussiatargeted “ordinary residential buildings, a school, a veterinary clinic, and other purely civilian infrastructure”.
He added: “Ballistic, aeroballistic, and cruise missiles were used in the strikes. The main target of this attack was Kyiv.”
