Russian Strike on Kyiv Injures 12, Including Two Children

Firefighters walked past burning cars at a Kyiv strike site after a Russian missile and drone attack. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said sixteen people have been injured in the capital so far, among them two children. Early figures listed 12 injured in the city, including children ages 10 and 12, with nine hospitalized; later reports raised the Kyiv toll to 16. Most of the wounded lived in a damaged 16-story apartment building in the Dniprovskyi district. Damage was reported in Darnytskyi, Dniprovskyi and Solomianskyi districts to residential and educational buildings, a municipal building, vehicles and railroad tracks. Some reports also cite Sviatoshynskyi. Investigative and bomb-disposal teams worked the sites. UA.News said Russia used ballistic and cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles and more than 150 attack drones, also striking Zaporizhzhia, where casualties were reported, and Odesa, where a high-rise was damaged. A wire summary noted temporary water-pressure drops in several Kyiv districts. What is contested: Ukrainian outlets and Klitschko put Kyiv injuries at 16; Newsday reported at least 19 injured region-wide. Zelenskyy said Ukrainian forces struck an oil refinery in Yaroslavl and a military airfield in the Rostov region. Emergency assessment at the Kyiv sites continued.
