At least two people have died and ten others were injured following a series of Russian airstrikes on Kyiv early Tuesday, as the city faced renewed violence despite a temporary ceasefire agreement.
The strikes targeted residential areas, including a five-storey apartment block in the Solomianskyi district, leading to significant damage and prompting civilians to seek shelter in metro stations, a common practice during the ongoing conflict.
Ukrainian officials reported that the attacks occurred after both nations had agreed to halt strikes on each other's capitals for three days, coinciding with the visit of US envoys to Moscow and Kyiv.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had anticipated the war would extend into winter, highlighting the ongoing tensions and the precarious situation for civilians.
The city's state emergency service confirmed the casualties and damage, stating that vehicles also caught fire in the Podilskyi district due to the explosions.
In a related incident, Ukrainian drone strikes reportedly hit buildings in Saratov, Russia, indicating the conflict's escalation on both sides.
As the situation develops, the humanitarian impact on Kyiv's residents remains a pressing concern amidst the ongoing hostilities.
“The strikes damaged a five-storey apartment block in the Solomianskyi district and set vehicles ablaze in the Podilskyi district. In Russia, Ukrainian drones struck buildings in Saratov, according to regional governor Roman Busargin on Telegram.”
