Russia launched a large wave of ballistic missile strikes overnight on Kyiv, killing one person and wounding at least fourteen, officials report.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zel‑ensky called the attacks "one of the most massive ballistic attacks on Kyiv" since the full‑scale invasion began.
The Ukrainian military said air defences shot down 18 of 41 missiles and intercepted 108 drones during the raid.
Ukraine has continued its own assault on Russian sites; the governor of Russia’s south‑western Stavropol region said a drone strike caused a fire in an industrial park.
Russian attacks used Iskander and hypersonic Zircon missiles, along with 125 drones, according to the Ukrainian air force.
Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said that both residential and non‑residential buildings—including a supermarket and a dormitory—had been damaged in the latest attacks.
Firefighters fought blazes at two warehouses as the city battled the aftermath.
In a Telegram message, Zel‑ensky said that in the past week Russia used about 1,450 strike drones, over 1,640 guided bombs and 99 missiles of various types against Ukraine.
The overnight strikes followed Ukrainian drone attacks that destroyed two Wildberries warehouses, killing eight and causing significant fires.
In Tambov, seven deaths and twenty‑five injuries were reported at a facility, while a Wildberries warehouse in Elektrostal suffered one death and thirty‑seven injuries.
Zel‑ensky said Ukraine’s operations were a response to Russian strikes on civilian infrastructure and cities.
Wildberries, often described as the Russian equivalent of Amazon, is part of the RWB group and was valued at around $12.6bn (£9.3bn) by Forbes Russia in 2026.
Ukraine has intensified long‑range drone attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, causing widespread fuel shortages; Kyiv said nearly 43% of Russia’s oil refining capacity had been disabled as a result.
Ukraine considers Russian oil and gas facilities legitimate targets, citing Moscow’s reliance on fossil fuel exports to finance the war that began in February 2022.
