Russian missiles and drones struck Kyiv and a dozen other Ukrainian regions overnight into Wednesday in a major aerial bombardment. Ukrainian officials reported that the attack resulted in at least 19 to 21 civilian deaths, including four children, and left approximately 60 individuals wounded.

Although Ukrainian authorities were aware that an attack was imminent, they were unable to fully repel the barrage. The incident coincided with the 74th birthday of Russian President Vladimir Putin, marking one of the latest significant escalations in the ongoing conflict.
