New Russian Attack on Kyiv Kills Two, Damages Ukrainian Capital

Two people were killed in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv on Wednesday morning in the latest attack from Russia's near-daily series of strikes against Ukraine, now in the fifth year of the war between the two countries.

The attack damaged a number of buildings and warehouses in the capital, according to the relevant authorities, as Russian strikes on various parts of Kyiv continue unabated.

These attacks come amid an escalating pace of Russian strikes on the Ukrainian capital and other cities, as the war continues into its fifth year with no clear signs on the horizon of a political solution to the conflict.

No further details have yet emerged about the identities of the two victims or the full extent of the damage to the affected buildings and warehouses, as Ukrainian authorities continue to assess the situation in the areas hit by the attack.

Kyiv and its Western allies continue to warn against Russia's ongoing attacks on civilian areas, as the military confrontation between the two sides continues on multiple fronts.
