Russia launched a sustained aerial bombardment of Kyiv early Thursday, firing hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles in an attack that killed at least 10 people, according to France 24.
The strike comes as Russian forces face slowing momentum in their eastern advance. The attack further eroded prospects for any near-term halt to Moscow's grinding offensive across Ukraine.
Details of damage and casualty counts were still being assessed as rescue operations continued in the capital.
Russia launched hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles at Kyiv Thursday, killing at least 10 people in a hours-long assault on the Ukrainian capital. The intensified aerial bombardment comes as Russian ground forces lose momentum in eastern regions, signaling Moscow's shift toward sustained air attacks rather than territorial gains.
The escalation signals a prolonged conflict with no near-term ceasefire in sight, affecting global energy and food prices that Ukraine supplies, while Western military aid commitments will likely face renewed pressure. If Russia sustains this air campaign strategy, it could disrupt broader European security and stability for months ahead.
