At least two people were killed and 77 injured in Russia’s hypersonic Oreshnik strike on Kyiv, Ukrainian authorities said Monday. The overnight barrage, which included additional missile types, caused significant damage across multiple districts of the capital.
Hospitals treated dozens of wounded residents, including people pulled from partially collapsed apartment blocks. Power and water disruptions were reported as repair crews worked to restore services amid continued air raid alerts.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko said rescue teams searched debris into the morning. Interior officials published lists of damaged sites to coordinate international humanitarian assistance.
NPR reported that the attack was among the most intense on Kyiv in months and followed a pattern of combined strikes designed to overwhelm defenses. Ukraine’s military said it intercepted a portion of incoming weapons but not all.
International humanitarian organizations sent surgical kits to hospitals treating blast trauma. Kyiv’s subway system operated through the night to shelter residents during alerts. Ukrainian prosecutors said they would document weapons fragments to support war crimes cases.
Air raid apps logged thousands of overnight alerts across the capital region. Poland and the Baltic states condemned the attack as part of a pattern of escalatory strikes on civilian infrastructure.
City officials opened temporary shelters for families who could not return to damaged apartments pending structural inspections.
