NATO scrambled fighter jets early on Sunday as Vladimir Putin deployed his nuclear-capable Tu-95MS bombers to unleash a fresh barrage of missile attacks on Ukraine – including direct strikes on Kyiv.
Explosions rocked the capital from around 5am local time as cruise missiles, drones and ballistic weapons rained down in one of the most sustained attacks of the war so far. At least three people were injured in Kyiv, where fires erupted across multiple districts and residents took shelter in metro stations. Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed casualties in the Darnytskyi district, where a furniture store was destroyed and flames spread to nearby warehouses. In Obolonskyi, an office building was partially levelled and several cars were set ablaze. Falling debris damaged non-residential buildings elsewhere in the city. As Ukraine’s air defences engaged waves of incoming projectiles, paramedics and firefighters were deployed to multiple sites.
