Russia deployed over 800 drones in a daytime assault on Kyiv, destroying residential buildings in the Darnytskyi district with part of one complex collapsing and people trapped under rubble.

The intensifying drone attacks on Kyiv signal Russia's shift toward more aggressive daytime strikes on residential areas, which could affect humanitarian corridors, displacement patterns, and aid delivery across Ukraine.
