It was the deadliest attack on the Ukrainian capital in almost a year, and came as Moscow has intensified air assaults on the city.

A combined Russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine overnight killed at least 15 people — including an American citizen — and wounded scores of others, according to Ukrainian officials.

A video showing missiles striking central Kyiv in 2024 has been falsely suggested by social media users to show Moscow’s retaliation in June 2025 to Ukraine’s drone attack inside Russia.
