Russian drones struck Kyiv, killing 10 people and injuring 80, as Russia intensifies attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure. The strikes targeted the National Academy of Sciences and a business center, highlighting the ongoing threat to critical facilities.
The attacks included a drone strike on the National Academy of Sciences building, where two were killed and 80 injured, and a strike on a business center in Dnipro, killing three and injuring 24. Russia has been using faster, high-flying jet drones in recent weeks, complicating Ukraine's defense efforts.
Ukraine's leaders have warned of the need for increased military support, with Zelenskiy noting that Russia is expanding its mobilization efforts, including the use of North Korean troops. The attacks underscore the continued pressure on Ukraine's civilian and military infrastructure.
Ukraine's officials have called for stronger international support, with Foreign Minister Sybiha accusing Russia of escalating attacks and urging allies to provide more air defenses to counter the growing threat.
