In a devastating turn of events, a Russian drone and missile attack struck Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, early Thursday morning, resulting in the deaths of at least 15 people and injuring 48 others. The attack, which targeted various parts of the city, including an apartment building, left many trapped under rubble, according to officials.
This assault marks the first major raid on Kyiv in weeks, escalating tensions in the region as US-led peace efforts to end the three-year war appear to have lost momentum. The strikes have not only claimed the lives of innocent civilians but have also caused significant damage to buildings across seven districts, including the European Union’s base in Kyiv.
Rescuers have been working tirelessly to save those trapped and provide medical assistance to the injured. Among the casualties were four children, aged between two and 17, highlighting the indiscriminate nature of the attack and its impact on vulnerable populations.
The international community has condemned the attack, with the European Union expressing concern over the escalating violence and calling for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further loss of life. The United States has also reiterated its support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, urging Russia to de-escalate the situation and engage in diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict peacefully.
As the situation continues to unfold, it is crucial for all parties involved to prioritize the protection of civilians and adhere to international humanitarian law. The tragic events in Kyiv serve as a stark reminder of the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine.
