A powerful Russian missile and drone attack struck Kyiv, Ukraine, on Thursday, killing at least six civilians and wounding several others. The attack targeted a residential area, with reports of extensive damage to buildings and infrastructure. Emergency services are working to rescue survivors and assess the full extent of the destruction.
The assault came as tensions in the region escalated, with President Trump warning that new sanctions against Moscow could be imposed if the violence did not stop. Trump’s comments reflect mounting international pressure on Russia to halt its military operations in Ukraine. While the U.S. has not yet imposed new sanctions, the threat has added to the diplomatic strain between Washington and Moscow.
Ukrainian officials have confirmed the attack and called for increased support from Western allies. The incident has reignited debates over the effectiveness of international sanctions and the potential for further military escalation. As the conflict continues, the humanitarian impact on civilians remains a central concern for global leaders and humanitarian organizations.
