Russia-Ukraine war: Moscow strikes civil infrastructure in Kyiv again, kills 9 and injures dozens
Russia launched massive missile and drone strikes on Kyiv that claimed nine lives, while over dozen were injured, leading to a collapse of a section of a residential building. According to Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko on Telegram, recovery work continues and more casualties are expected to be trapped in the debris. He said, 'Russia has demonstrated that a term 'civilian object' doesn't exist for them." According to authorities, two people were slain and 10 wounded in a Russian short-range drone attack that occurred in the Chernihiv region late Sunday night. Three children were among the wounded, Viacheslav Chaus, the regional administration head said. 2. One person was killed and eight others were injured overnight in the city of Bila Tserkva, located about 85 kilometers (53 miles) southwest of the capital. 3. The city's administration reported on Telegram that one of the subway entrances in Kyiv was also damaged in the attack. Subway stations are typically used as shelters during air raids. 4. The emergency services stated the most severe damage happened in the Shevchenkivskyi district, where one section of a five-story apartment building collapsed. Residential areas, hospitals and sports infrastructure in numerous districts across Kyiv were hit by Russia's drone and missiles. 5. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko mentioned six people were declared dead in the Shevchenkivskyi district. 10 others, comprising a pregnant woman, were rescued from a nearby high-rise that also suffered heavy damage in the blast. Vitali said, 'We very much hope that the death toll will not increase', but that rescue workers were still searching the collapsed building for more casualties. 6. The attack saw a similar pattern to last week's assault that killed 28 people, which Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called one of the biggest bombardments of the war, now in its fourth year. 7. Ukraine's air forces said Russia launched a total of 352 exploding drones and decoys overnight, with 11 ballistic missiles and five cruise missiles. It added air defences intercepted or jammed 339 drones and 15 missiles prior to reaching their targets. 8. Russia's Defence Ministry said its air defences shot down 23 Ukrainian drones overnight into Monday. 9. The strike took place amid Zelensky set to participate in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) summit in The Hague that starts on Tuesday. He has urged to rally support for his country, while also lowering its dependence on military lifelines, particularly from the US. 10. Zelenskiy has sought Western allies to commit 0.25% of their GDP to support Ukraine's defense industry next year. Meanwhile, Ukraine has secured $43 billion to boost production and purchase drones, artillery, and other weapons.

Russian attacks on Ukraine kill at least nine, injure over a dozen
KYIV: A Russian drone and missile attack on Ukraine's capital overnight killed at least six people and injured others, according to local officials, as rescue workers and firefighters sought to remove people they believed trapped under debris in a partially collapsed apartment building. Elsewhere in Ukraine, a Russian short-range drone attack killed two people and wounded 10 more in the Chernihiv region late Sunday night, authorities said. According to the regional administration head, Viacheslav Chaus, three children were among the wounded. Another person was killed and eight wounded overnight in the city of Bila Tserkva, around 85 kilometers (53 miles) southwest of the capital. The strikes came nearly a week after a combined Russian attack on Ukraine last Tuesday killed 28 people in Kyiv, 23 of them in a residential building that collapsed after sustaining a direct hit by a missile. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called that attack one of the biggest bombardments of the war, now in its fourth year. In the early hours of Monday, drones and missiles hit residential areas, hospitals and sports infrastructure in numerous districts across Kyiv, emergency services said, with the most severe damage occurring in the Shevchenkivskyi district, where one section of a five-story apartment building collapsed.

Ten others, including a pregnant woman, were rescued from a nearby high-rise that also sustained heavy damage in the blast. Dozens of vehicles, some burned out and others mangled by flying debris from the blast, formed a snarl in the courtyard in front of the building, which had collapsed down to the second floor. Onlookers, some wrapped in blankets, watched tearfully as the cleanup operation took place. Dozens of volunteers worked to remove broken glass, downed tree branches and other debris. Klitschko told reporters from the scene that we very much hope that the death toll will not increase, but that rescue workers were still searching the collapsed building for further casualties. Russia fired a total of 352 exploding drones and decoys overnight, Ukraine's air force said. Russia also launched 11 ballistic missiles and five cruise missiles.
