The Kyiv and Odesa regions were the main targets of the assault
At least 12 people, including an Indian, were killed after Russia launched a massive aerial assault across Ukraine overnight, Ukrainian authorities said on Tuesday. In the wider Kyiv region, three people were killed and 12 wounded. In Boryspil, several buildings and vehicles were damaged, while emergency crews evacuated 48 people and rescued two people from beneath the rubble.
Zelenskyy said seven people were killed in a strike on a railway depot in Kyiv, while authorities reported another death in the city’s Holosiivskyi district after a non-residential building was hit and caught fire. More than a dozen people were also wounded, including three children. A drone also struck a residential building in the Solomianskyi district, where emergency workers rescued a man and freed a woman trapped under rubble. Odesa also came under heavy attack, with residential buildings and civilian infrastructure damaged. A sewing factory caught fire, while Russian forces also struck the Orlivka international ferry crossing on the border with Romania.
