Russia launched hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles in Ukraine on Tuesday, achieving dozens of civilian objectives in kyiv, including a large building, killing at least 15 people and injury scores, Ukrainian officials said.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the Russian forces had sent more than 440 drones and 32 missiles to Ukraine. He described destruction in kyiv as among the “most horrible” of the war in the capital.
About 27 locations in kyiv were affected during several waves of attacks throughout the night, and residential buildings, educational establishments and critical infrastructure facilities have been damaged, officials said.
A ballistic missile struck a residential building of nine floors in the kyiv Solomianskyi district, wiping a whole section, which was flattened in a bunch of debris.
Emergency workers painted through the rubble and dipped the flames with pipes. They used a crane to lower an elderly woman injured in a stretcher through the window of an apartment in an adjacent section of the building.
“I have never seen anything like this before. It’s just horrible. When they started to remove people, and everyone was cut, elderly and children … I don’t know how long they can continue to torment us, ordinary people,” said Viktoria Vovchenko, 57, who lives nearby.
Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said 14 people had been killed in kyiv and another in Odesa, southern Ukraine. Nearly 100 were injured between Kyiv, Odesa and Chernihiv in the North, officials said.
Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said one of the deceased was a 62 -year -old American citizen who died of shell injuries.

Ukraine on the agenda of G7, less Trump
Zelenskyy is in Canada on Tuesday for the G7 summit, hoping to collect more strict support for Russia and continuous military aid for Ukraine.
Trump has reoriented American policy far from supporting kyiv and has so far resisted the calls of European allies to impose more stringent sanctions in Moscow for rejected calls to a ceasefire.
At the top of the G7, which takes place in Kananaskis, Alberta, Trump called on the group to readmit Russia, which was expelled in 2014 after the annexation of Crimea.
Ukraine has also launched drones deeply in Russia, although its attacks have not caused damage similar to civilians. The Russian Defense Ministry said it had intercepted and destroyed 147 Ukrainian drones on Russian territory, including the Moscow region overnight.
The large -scale invasion of Russia is now in its fourth year, and hostilities have warmed in recent weeks, because kyiv and Moscow have reached any agreement during two cycles of peace talks in Istanbul.
The Russian troops put pressure on an advance in eastern Ukraine and opened a new front in the Sumy region in the Northeast, despite calls for a Trump ceasefire, which promised to end the war quickly.
