UKRAINE LIVE: RUSSIAN STRIKES KILL AT LEAST 15 IN KYIV AND SURROUNDING REGION

Russian forces launched air attacks on the Kyiv region on Wednesday night, killing at least 15 residents and injuring dozens, Ukrainian authorities said. The strikes targeted the capital's outskirts and surrounding areas, marking a sharp rise in long‑range attacks on the Ukrainian capital.

According to France 24 – International breaki, the attacks occurred overnight and were part of a broader campaign in which Russia has more than doubled its missile use in July. The Guardian reported that Ukrainian officials confirmed at least 14 fatalities, while the Associated Press described a missile‑and‑drone barrage that left a similar death toll. Earlier this week, a separate strike in the Moscow region killed five people and wounded ten, illustrating the escalating use of long‑range weapons on both sides.

These attacks come amid a renewed surge in long‑range strikes that both sides have intensified over recent weeks, raising concerns about the spread of conflict beyond the front lines and the protection of civilian populations in major cities.
