Ukraine Hit by 12-Hour Russian Strike Carnage, at Least 4 Dead, 70 Injured
Kyiv, Ukraine - A devastating 12-hour aerial bombardment by Russia has left a trail of destruction and death in its wake. At least four people have been confirmed killed, including a 12-year-old girl, with over 70 others injured.
The attack, which began at 10pm local time on Saturday evening, saw nearly 600 drones and several dozen missiles target seven regions across Ukraine, with the majority of projectiles aimed at the capital city of Kyiv. President Volodymyr Zelensky has condemned the "vile" attack, warning that Ukraine will retaliate against Moscow's aggression.
The bombardment is one of the heaviest in recent months, and its timing - late on a Saturday evening - has become all too familiar for Ukrainians. The sound of anti-aircraft fire and explosions punctuated the night sky as residents scrambled to seek shelter.
As the situation continues to unfold, Ukrainian authorities are working to assess the full extent of the damage and tend to those injured. Zelensky's vow to retaliate against Russia's aggression has raised tensions in the region, with many wondering what the next developments will be.
