The attack caused damage and fires to erupt in five districts in
the suburbs of Kyiv. In the village of Putrivka in the Fastiv
district, emergency first responders worked on saving people
buried under debris.
Russia also struck energy infrastructure in Ukraine's southern
Odesa region, resulting in significant fires, which were later
extinguished, the emergency service said.
During the four years since Russia launched an all-out war on
its neighbor, and despite a new push over the past year in
U.S.-led peace efforts, Ukrainian civilians have endured
constant aerial attacks. Russia has also ramped up attacks
targeting the country's energy grid, leaving Ukrainian civilians
without electricity and heating amid harsh winter conditions.
Ukraine’s Air Force said Sunday that Russia's overnight barrage
had included 297 drones and 50 missiles of various types, of
which 274 drones and 33 missiles were shot down or neutralized.
Of those remaining, 14 missiles and 23 drones struck 14
locations, it said. Three missiles were unaccounted for.
Separately, an explosion in Ukraine's western city of Lviv
killed one person and injured 25, Ukrainian President Volodymyr
Zelenskyy said in a Telegram post on Sunday. One person has been
arrested over the incident, which is unrelated to Russia’s
aerial attack on Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Russian air defenses destroyed 86 Ukrainian drones
overnight, Russia’s Ministry of Defense said Sunday.
A security guard was injured and a fuel tank set alight when two
Ukrainian drones hit an oil depot in the Russian-occupied
Ukrainian city of Luhansk, Moscow-installed leader Leonid
Pasechnik said.
