After a tense day of intense attacks on Wednesday, Russia has continued its strikes on Ukraine overnight, with at least one dead and 40 injured in the capital, Kyiv, after reported hits on civilian infrastructure.
Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded to the strikes, saying:
“These are definitely not the actions of those who believe the war is coming to an end. It is important that partners do not remain silent about this strike.”
He said that over the last 30 hours, Russia deployed more than 1,500 drones against Ukraine.
Kyiv’s mayor Vitali Klitschko said at least 18 apartments were destroyed as a direct result of the attack, with water supply problems reported in left bank Kyiv. He added that 40 people were injured, with 31 requiring hospitalisation.
