Russia attacked Kyiv with ballistic missiles overnight on May 24, the BBC reported, citing the Ukrainian Air Force. Earlier, the Air Force had warned of an Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile heading toward the capital.

At least one person was killed in the attack. Authorities reported significant destruction in the city. Rescue crews are working to assess the damage and recover any additional victims.

The attack is part of an ongoing Russian assault wave against Ukraine, which has increasingly involved ballistic missiles and drones in recent days. Ukraine’s air defense said it intercepted some of the projectiles.
