    14 killed as Russian missile and drone attacks strike Kyiv – including American citizen

    Cliff Notes

    • Russian missile and drone strikes in Kyiv killed 14 individuals, including a 62-year-old US citizen, and injured at least 44 others, resulting in significant destruction of residential buildings.
    • Ukraine’s interior minister reported that the attacks, one of the most extensive since the invasion began in February 2022, targeted critical infrastructure and educational institutions across the capital.
    • The timing of the assaults coincides with the G7 Summit in Canada, raising concerns regarding Russia’s intent as Ukraine’s foreign minister called the attacks a display of disrespect towards the US.

    Ukraine war: 14 killed as Russian missile and drone attacks strike Kyiv – including American citizen

    Russian missile and drone attacks have killed 14 people in Kyiv overnight, according to Ukrainian officials.

    A 62-year-old US citizen who suffered shrapnel wounds is among the dead.

    At least 44 others were wounded in strikes that hollowed out a residential building and destroyed dozens of apartments.

    Emergency workers were at the scene to rescue people from under the rubble.

    Images show a firefighter was among those hurt, with injured residents evacuated from their homes.

    Ukraine’s interior minister, Ihor Klymenko, said 27 locations across the capital have been hit – including educational institutions and critical infrastructure.

    He claimed the attack, in the early hours of Tuesday morning, was one of the largest on the capital since Russia’s full-scale invasion began in February 2022.

    Drones swarmed over the city, with an air raid alert remaining in force for seven hours.

    Zelenskyy and Trump talks on hold

    It comes as the G7 Summit in Canada continues, which Ukraine’s leader is expected to attend.

    Volodymyr Zelenskyy was due to hold talks with Donald Trump, but the president has announced he is unexpectedly returning to Washington because of tensions in the Middle East.

    Ukraine’s foreign minister says Moscow’s decision to attack Kyiv during the summit is a signal of disrespect to the US.

    Moscow has launched a record number of drones and missiles in recent weeks, and says the attacks are in retaliation for a Ukrainian operation that targeted warplanes in airbases deep within Russian territory.

    Kyiv’s Mayor Vitali Klitschko says fires broke out in two of the city’s districts as a result of debris from drones shot down by the nation’s air defences.

    ‘Russia’s campaign of terror against civilians’

    On X, Ukraine’s foreign ministry wrote: “Russia’s campaign of terror against civilians continues. Its war against Ukraine escalates with increased brutality.

    “The only way to stop Russia is tighter pressure – through sanctions, more defence support for Ukraine, and limiting Russia’s ability to keep sowing war.”

    Olena Lapyshnak, who lived in one of the destroyed buildings, said: “It’s horrible, it’s scary, in one moment there is no life. I can only curse the Russians, that’s all I can say. They shouldn’t exist in this world.”
