Mother, Daughter Killed In Russian Missile Attack On Kyiv

Mother, Daughter Killed In Russian Missile Attack On Kyiv

In a devastating turn of events, a mother and her 11-year-old daughter were among the three individuals tragically killed in a Russian missile attack on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.

The attack, which commenced around 3 am on Thursday marked the most significant loss of life from a single Russian attack on Kyiv in recent weeks.

Witnesses reported multiple explosions during the early hours of Thursday, and Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed that emergency responders were active in the Dniprovskyi district, closer to the city centre.

Klitschko mentioned that a medical clinic and residential buildings were hit in the attack.

Ukraine's military reported that their air defence systems successfully intercepted and shot down all 10 ballistic and Iskander cruise missiles launched from Russia's Bryansk region.

However, debris from intercepted missiles often causes collateral damage.

Local authorities confirmed that a medical clinic, kindergarten, residential buildings, and cars sustained damage during the attack.
