Russian drone barrage injures civilians in Kyiv, damages homes

Russian attacks on Kyiv injured multiple civilians, including a child, after targeting residential areas overnight.
A residential building in the capital suffered severe damage, with survivors describing narrow escapes as explosions shattered windows and walls. Authorities reported hundreds of attacks across Ukraine, many intercepted, though debris from downed drones or missiles still caused destruction.
Residents now heed air raid alerts more urgently amid intensified strikes in recent months.
Emergency repairs are underway, but many face harsh conditions with homes exposed to the elements. The attacks have left civilians shaken, with some attributing their survival to last-minute decisions to flee to shelters.
