Russia launched a massive attack on Kyiv overnight, destroying residential buildings and killing more than a dozen civilians in strikes Moscow’s military called retaliation for Ukrainian attacks on its own civilian infrastructure.

Ukraine’s air force said Russia launched nearly 500 drones and more than 70 missiles toward the country in a “massive combined strike,” simultaneously targeting the capital from different directions. While most of the missiles and drones were intercepted, a total of 33 projectiles made impact.
