Russia launches deadly mass attack on Kyiv
Russia carried out a large-scale missile and drone strike on Kyiv in the early hours of Thursday, killing at least 13 people and wounding dozens more. The attack caused widespread damage across the Ukrainian capital and sent explosions echoing through the city. President Zelenskyy described it as a 'massive Russian strike' as emergency crews worked through the night to rescue survivors from rubble. The assault marks one of the heaviest bombardments of Kyiv in recent months.
At least 13 people were killed in what Ukrainian officials described as a major Russian attack on Kyiv, involving both missiles and drones. The strikes targeted multiple areas across the capital, causing significant damage and civilian casualties. International media reports highlight the scale and intensity of the assault, with Kyiv's mayor confirming the high death toll. The attack underscores Russia's continued willingness to strike heavily at Ukraine's civilian infrastructure and population centers.
The death toll from the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela has risen to 2,295, with over 11,000 injured as search and rescue operations continue amid the rubble. Morgues are filling and questions remain about the true scale of casualties, with concerns that the final count could be significantly higher. The disaster has been compounded by reports that Venezuelans deported from the United States were among those killed just hours after their arrival. Attention is increasingly turning to the growing humanitarian crisis facing survivors.
