Fatal attack: 22 dead after Russian air strikes in Kyiv!

Kiew, Ukraine - in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, a devastating Russian attack makes headlines and grief. The number of deaths has risen to 22 after a nine-story residential building hit a CH-101 cruise missile on Tuesday. Six bodies have already been recovered from the rubble, while the rescue work in the city continues. The Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko announced this shattering information, and the President of Ukraine, Wolodymyr Selenskyj, condemned the attacks as brutal terror. This reports Insuedthueringen.de .

But the attacks were not only limited to Kyiv. Russian air strikes also occurred in Ternopol and Luzk, with at least four people, including three firefighters in Kiev, in the night of Friday. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that it was able to ward off 407 Russian drones - the highest number in one night since the beginning of the conflict. 30 out of 36 marching air bodies were successfully intercepted and four of six ballistic rockets, such as the ZDF reported.

rescue work and international reactions

The rescue work in Kyiv continues continuously while the authorities are looking for other victims. A total of over 134 people were injured and the Ukrainian military administration warned of possible power outages in the east of Kiev. Selenskyj is now calling for increased international pressure on Russia and may see the attacks as retaliation for Ukrainian military actions against Russian airfields. The night before, Ukrainian armed forces increasingly carried out attacks on Russian military bases, which, according to Moscow, was interpreted in response to terrorist acts.

The brutal escalation of the conflict throws a shadow on the upcoming International Economic Forum in St. Petersburg, where Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin will talk about the war against Ukraine on Wednesday. This impressively shows how much the current situation influences the geopolitical landscape. The world looks forward to developments, also in view of the enormous number of shot drones and rockets, such as Spiegel.de

The situation in Ukraine remains dramatic and tense, while the population continues to suffer from the devastating effects of the conflicts. Hope for peace seems to be a long way off, and the people in Kiev worry about their lives and that of their loved ones. It remains to be seen which measures the international community will take to end this tragedy.
