Four Dead Due to Russian Strikes in Kyiv – Missile Attack on Lviv

At least four people were killed and another 19 injured as a result of Russian airstrikes on Kyiv overnight from Thursday to Friday, according to an updated report from the city’s mayor. The strikes, carried out by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), hit four districts of the city, causing significant damage to residential buildings. One of the deceased was a rescuer who had rushed to help at an apartment building that had been hit by drones just minutes earlier. Simultaneously, a Russian missile attack targeted infrastructure in the city of Lviv in western Ukraine. There is speculation that a new type of hypersonic missile, capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, may have been used.
