The latest Russian attack, using what Ukrainian officials said were short-range Iskander ground-launched missiles, coincided with events scheduled in Kyiv to celebrate International Children’s Day
KYIV, Ukraine — Russia launched a pre-dawn missile barrage on Ukraine’s capital Thursday, killing 3 people including a 9-year-old and her mother, officials said, and damaging apartment buildings, schools and a children’s hospital. It was the highest casualty toll from a single attack on Kyiv over the past month.
Russia has kept up a steady barrage on the Ukrainian capital and other parts of the country in recent weeks as Kyiv readies what it says is a counteroffensive to push back Moscow’s troops, 15 months after their full-scale invasion. Kyiv was the target of drone and missile attacks on 17 days last month.“Children’s Day has to be about safe childhood, summer, life,” she tweeted. “But today it is about new crimes of against children.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko said authorities were investigating what happened. He gave orders to the heads of the city’s districts to immediately check if all the shelters in Kyiv are accessible.Since February 2022, at least 525 children have been killed and at least 1,047 have been injured, according to the U.N.’s Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine.
“There is no doubt about it, because we are protecting our land, our people and our values,” he said. One explosion sent missile fragments ripping through an apartment building in a leafy neighborhood. In the morning light, paramedics escorted an elderly woman gingerly away from the building as the bare feet of a person killed in the attack poked out from underneath a plastic tarpaulin in a roped-off area between the trees.
Across Ukraine, the presidential office said Thursday, a total of seven civilians were killed and 27 injured over the previous 24 hours.
