Russia Launches Massive Night Attack on Kyiv: Explosions, Fires and Multiple Injuries Reported

 

Tonight, once again, Russia targeted Ukraine’s capital city Kyiv, where multiple districts were shaken by powerful explosions, fires, and continuous emergency sirens. The attack was so sudden and intense that people woke up from their sleep and rushed toward underground shelters, metro stations, and basements for safety.

According to authorities, both missiles and drones were used in this night assault. Ukraine’s air-defense system successfully shot down many incoming drones, but several missiles still managed to strike residential and commercial areas.

11 injured — Situation remains critical

Initial reports confirm that at least 11 people were injured, including a pregnant woman and one individual in critical condition. Emergency teams responded quickly, launching rescue operations and transporting the wounded to nearby hospitals without delay.

Fire brigades controlled several fires that broke out in damaged buildings, though some apartments were completely destroyed.

Eyewitnesses reported:

> “At around 2 AM, a loud explosion shook everything, followed by 4–5 more blasts. We saw the sky turning red, and people were running outside in panic.”

Every district targeted

Kyiv city authorities stated that during this overnight assault, almost every district of the city was targeted. This is considered one of the biggest attacks Russia has launched in recent weeks.

Drone debris and missile fragments were recovered from roads, parks, and residential areas. In some places, traffic was temporarily halted for safety reasons.

Shelter alerts saved lives

The city’s air-raid alert system activated at the right time, warning citizens:

“Move to shelters immediately — heavy missile attack incoming.”

This timely alert saved many lives. In Ukraine, such alerts have now become a normal part of everyday life.

Russia’s stance — ‘Special military operation will continue’

So far, no detailed statement has been released from Russia, but their long-standing position remains unchanged: their “special military operation” will not stop. Russian officials often claim that attacks will continue until Ukraine agrees to negotiations.

Analysts suggest that Russia may intensify strikes with winter approaching, as Ukraine’s power infrastructure becomes more vulnerable during the cold months.

Ukraine’s response — ‘We will not surrender’

Ukrainian defense officials reported that their air-defense system managed to intercept most missiles and drones. They stated:

“Russia’s goal is to intimidate our people, but Ukraine will never bow down.”

European countries and NATO allies continue to support Ukraine, promising to keep providing advanced defense systems.

Effect on everyday life

After the attack, residents posted videos on social media showing flames, smoke, and scattered debris across the city. Some schools and offices shifted to online mode due to safety concerns.

Electricity and internet outages were reported in several areas but were largely restored by the morning.

Bottom Line — Situation still tense

Tonight’s attack shows that the Russia–Ukraine conflict is far from over. People in Kyiv continue to live under fear and uncertainty. Authorities have urged the public to stay alert as the situation remains highly tense.
