Russia launched a massive missile attack on Kyiv on Sunday, utilizing its hypersonic Oreshnik ballistic missile, marking the third deployment of this weapon in the ongoing conflict. The assault resulted in at least four deaths and 83 injuries, with significant damage reported across the city, including a water supply facility, markets, and residential buildings. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the attack as a 'deranged' act, emphasizing that Kyiv was the primary target. Reports indicated that 600 drones and 90 missiles were involved in the assault, of which 36 were ballistic missiles. The attack also inflicted damage on cultural institutions, including the National Art Museum of Ukraine, with its minister highlighting the systematic targeting of civilian infrastructure. In response, Zelenskyy called for consequences for Russia's actions. International condemnation followed, with leaders like Emmanuel Macron and the EU's foreign policy chief denouncing the strikes as acts of terror. The Russian defense ministry claimed the missile strikes were retaliation for alleged Ukrainian attacks on civilian facilities in Russia. The conflict continues to escalate, with both sides exchanging accusations and threats amid a backdrop of increasing international scrutiny.
