Russia launched a large-scale attack on Ukraine's capital, killing at least 18 people in the latest escalation of the war.
Russia launched a large-scale attack on Ukraine's capital with drones and missiles, killing at least 18 people. The attack was part of the escalating pattern of Russian strikes on Ukrainian population centers rather than military targets. This represents the latest in a series of intensifying attacks.
The death toll and scale suggest Russia is increasing the frequency and lethality of these strikes. Each attack kills civilians and damages civilian infrastructure, which is the stated pattern of Russia's current strategy—targeting civilian morale and infrastructure rather than military objectives.
