Kyiv has come under a severe missile attack from Russia, resulting in at least one death and multiple injuries, along with significant damage to several foreign embassies. The bombardment included the use of ballistic missiles and targeted the Ukrainian capital during rush hour, causing fires and considerable destruction to civilian infrastructure. This escalation follows a speech by President Putin, who had previously issued threats of retaliation, marking a continued intensification of hostilities in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
