April 24 Russia unleashed the largest airborne assault in almost a year against Ukraine overnight, killing at least eight people and injuring more than 70 in the capital, Kyiv, which was hit by dozens of missiles and drones, authorities said.
Most of the casualties in Kyiv were believed to be in two residential buildings destroyed by a missile in the Sviatoshynskyi district, with two children still unaccounted for, but 12 other districts were also targeted, sparking at least 40 blazes across the capital, Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said in a social media post.
Klymenko said missile fragments had been found at the scene of the strike in Sviatoshynskyi where other civilian infrastructure also sustained severe damage, including a kindergarten and a school.
“Experts have removed the remains of this missile, handed them over to the relevant services, which will conduct an appropriate examination and give the final result of what kind of missile it was, what was the warhead of this missile”, he said.
“And I want to repeat once again that this is a densely populated area. Unfortunately, there are still, with a high degree of probability, the bodies of the dead under the rubble”, Klymenko said.
