Three people dead, including a 12-year-old child, in recent missile attacks in Kyiv.
At least 20 others injured across various Ukrainian cities due to the strikes.
Significant damage to residential buildings reported, with ongoing rescue efforts.

Russian forces launched missile attacks on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities early Thursday, resulting in the tragic deaths of three individuals, including a 12-year-old child. Kyiv’s mayor, Vitali Klitschko, reported that multiple people were injured, with at least 18 requiring medical treatment, highlighting the extent of the violence inflicted upon civilians, according to BBC and Reuters.

The attacks struck various districts in Kyiv, particularly the Podilskyi area, where a 16-storey residential building sustained significant damage. Rescuers managed to pull a mother and child from the rubble, as the city's infrastructure faced devastating impacts with large fires breaking out, as detailed by Klitschko, according to Al Jazeera and Reuters.

Additionally, the southeastern city of Dnipro reported its own casualties, including the death of one person due to the missile strikes, with residential buildings ablaze throughout the area. This wave of violence comes after a brief ceasefire, further escalating the ongoing conflict, according to BBC and Reuters.
