Two people, including a child, were killed by Russian strikes on Kyiv overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday, Le Monde reported. Four other people were wounded in the Ukrainian capital and surrounding areas during the same attack.
The strikes are the latest in a continuing pattern of Russian attacks on Kyiv and other Ukrainian population centers as the war, now well into its fifth year, continues without a resolution. Ukrainian authorities have regularly reported civilian casualties from missile and drone strikes on the capital region.
Continuing Toll on Civilians
The death of a child among the casualties underscores the continued civilian toll of the conflict, which has repeatedly seen residential areas in and around Kyiv struck during nighttime attacks. Ukrainian officials typically respond to such strikes with updated casualty figures as rescue and recovery operations proceed.
Le Monde's live coverage of the war noted the overnight casualties as part of its ongoing reporting on developments in the conflict. Further details on the specific targets struck and the extent of damage were not fully available in initial reports.
The strikes come amid continued exchanges between Russian and Ukrainian forces along multiple fronts, with both sides' attacks on population centers remaining a persistent feature of the war.
