Russian Strikes on Kyiv Region Kill 15, Injure More Than 50

At least 15 people were killed and more than 50 others were wounded after Russia launched overnight strikes on Kyiv and the surrounding region, Ukrainian emergency officials said early Wednesday. Rescue operations were still underway as crews searched through damaged buildings for survivors. Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said its personnel were working under dangerous conditions due to the continuing threat of additional attacks. The overnight assault damaged residential areas and other civilian infrastructure across the Kyiv region, with emergency responders deployed to multiple sites. Authorities warned that the casualty toll could rise as search and-rescue efforts continued. The latest attack is part of an ongoing wave of Russian missile and drone strikes targeting Ukraine’s capital and surrounding areas, as the war continues with no immediate signs of easing. Ukrainian officials have repeatedly called for stronger air defense support from international allies to help protect civilians from escalating aerial attacks.
