Russian air strikes have damaged infrastructure in the Kyiv region and reduced a kindergarten in Ukraine’s capital to ruins, while firefighters battled a major blaze amid renewed attacks on the country’s energy network.
The strike that hit the kindergarten left the building severely damaged, with walls collapsed and the interior gutted, according to local reports from Kyiv.
Firefighters were deployed to contain a large fire that broke out at the site, describing the blaze as “major” and working through the night to prevent it from spreading to nearby structures.
Officials said the attacks come as Ukraine faces a fresh wave of strikes targeting its energy facilities, a pattern that has disrupted power supplies in several regions.
Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, has been a focal point of the ongoing conflict, and the latest strikes underscore the continued vulnerability of civilian infrastructure in the area.
