According to the report, a barrage of Russian missiles hit Kyiv on Friday, killing six people in one apartment block, attacks that Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denounced as a “heinous” bid to spread terror.
The report said that a Russian drone attack on a market in southern Ukraine hours later killed two more people, authorities said. Ukraine also fired missiles into Russian territory, and Russian officials reported a fire at a Black Sea oil refinery.
The report also stated that with a bitter winter looming amid widespread raids on Ukraine’s power stations, this was one of the largest attacks on Kyiv since Russia launched its full invasion of Ukraine in 2022, hitting buildings in most of the capital’s districts. Several districts were plunged into darkness Friday night because of power cuts.
The report added that hospitals, shops, and offices were all hit, according to authorities. Officials said 36 people had been wounded. The attack damaged Azerbaijan’s embassy, and the Baku government summoned Moscow’s envoy to protest. In eastern Kyiv, AFP reporters saw charred multi-storey buildings with dozens of windows and balconies blown out.
In addition to the report, Zelenskyy, who will go to Paris and Madrid next week in a new round of diplomatic visits, said the attack was specifically aimed at causing “terror.” “This was a deliberately calculated attack aimed at causing maximum harm to people and civilian infrastructure,” he added.
