Russian strikes targeted Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, and the southern port city of Odesa, killing at least two people and causing significant damage. The attacks, part of an ongoing escalation in the conflict, underscore Moscow’s continued aggression despite international condemnation.
In Odesa, the strikes resulted in civilian casualties, with at least two reported dead, while emergency crews worked to rescue survivors and clear rubble. The city, a crucial hub for Ukraine’s grain exports, has faced repeated attacks, disrupting global food supplies.
Meanwhile, Kyiv was also hit, with explosions reported in multiple districts. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted some missiles, but falling debris caused fires and damage to infrastructure. The strikes come as Russia intensifies its bombardment of Ukrainian cities, targeting both military and civilian areas.
Ukrainian officials have condemned the attacks as acts of terror, while Western leaders have pledged further military support to help Ukraine defend itself. The war, now in its third year, shows no signs of abating, with civilians continuing to bear the brunt of the violence.
The international community has called for urgent measures to protect civilians and hold Russia accountable for its actions. Meanwhile, Ukraine remains steadfast in its resistance, vowing to repel the invasion and reclaim occupied territories.
