A nocturnal missile and a drone attack against Ukraine killed at least four people and injured 20 others in kyiv, said the city mayor on Friday, Vitali Klitschko, while Russia has targeted at least six regions across the country with 407 drones and 44 missiles in one of its largest coordinated attacks on the three -year war.
The spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force, Yurii Ihnat, said that the dam included ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as a mixture of typing drones and lures. Ukrainian forces said they had killed about 30 of cruise missiles and up to 200 drones.
Ukrainian cities have undergone regular bombing since Russia invaded its neighbor in February 2022. The attacks killed more than 12,000 civilians, according to the United Nations.
The war continued tirelessly, even because a diplomatic push led by the United States for a regulation brought two cycles of direct peace talks between the delegations of Russia and Ukraine. However, negotiations have not allowed significant breakthroughs and the parties remain far from their conditions for the end of the fighting.
Ukraine offered an unconditional 30-day ceasefire and a meeting between President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian leader Vladimir Putin to break the deadlock. But the Kremlin actually rejected a truce and did not move its requests.
More reprisals expected on Sunday
Putin said in a telephone call with American president Donald Trump earlier this week that he would respond to the daring attack in Ukraine on Russian air bases on Sunday.
The night attack occurred a few hours after Trump said it would be better to leave Ukraine and Russia “fight for a while” before separating them and continuing peace, in comments that were a remarkable detour of Trump’s often stated calls to stop the war.

In Russia, the air defenses have shot down 10 Ukrainian drones heading to the capital early Friday, said the mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobyanin. The flights at Moscow airports were temporarily suspended during the night as a precaution.
Ukrainian drones have also targeted three other regions of Russia, the authorities said, harming apartments and industrial factories. Three people were injured, officials said.
Ukraine accused of rail network sabotage
The Russian Defense Ministry said the air defenses had decreased 174 Ukrainian drones earlier on Friday. He added that three Neptune Ukrainian missiles were also slaughtered on the Black Sea.
In addition, a locomotive derailed early Friday in the Belgorod region after the track was exploded, said Governor of Belgorod Vyacheslav Gladkov. Russia recently accused Ukraine of sabotaging the rail network.
Ukrainian air defenses are currently tense.
In kyiv, several explosions were heard for hours in the capital, where the fall in debris launched fires in several districts while air defense systems were trying to intercept the incoming targets, Tymur Tkachenk said of the city of Kyiv.
“Our air defense teams do everything possible. But we have to protect each other – staying safe,” wrote Tkachenko on Telegram, urging people to look for shelter.
‘My live flashed before my eyes’
Vitalina Vitalina Vasylchenko, fourteen, sheltered in a parking lot with her six -year -old sister and their mother after an explosion exploded one of their windows with her hinges.
“I heard a buzzing sound, then my father ran towards me and covered me with his hand, then there was a very strong explosion,” she said.
“All my life strolled before my eyes, I already thought it was that. I started to have a panic crisis … I am shocked that I am alive.”

Ukraine’s manual human rights chief Dmytro Lubinets called for a strong international response to the last night attack in Russia, saying that the aggression had violated fundamental human rights.
“Russia acts as a terrorist, systematically targeting civil infrastructure,” wrote Lubinets on Telegram. “The world must react clearly and take concrete measures, in particular by condemning the actions of the aggressor.”
3 emergency speakers killed in the Kyiv attack
Authorities have reported damage to several kyiv districts and the rescuers responded in several places.
The Ministry of the Interior of Ukraine said that three emergency workers had been killed in kyiv when he responded to the consequences of Russian strikes.
“They worked under fire to help people,” the ministry said in a statement.
In the district of Salomyanskyi, a fire broke out on the 11th floor of a 16 -story residential building. Emergency services have evacuated three people from the apartment. Another fire broke out in a metal warehouse.
Tkachenko said the metro tracks between two stations in kyiv had been damaged during the attack, but that no fire or injury occurred.
Current breakdowns
Friday, more than 2,000 households from the eastern bank in kyiv remained without electricity after the Russian night attack, the administration of the city of kyiv said.
The number of people injured in a Russian attack on the western city of Ternopil on Friday reached 10 years, including five emergency workers, said regional governor Viacheslav Nehoda. The strike damaged industrial and infrastructure facilities, left the parts of the city without electricity and disrupted the supply of water.
Three people were injured in the Poltava central region of Ukraine following a Russian attack that damaged administrative buildings, warehouses and coffee, said regional chief Volodymyr Kohut. The fires caused by the strike were extinguished and the debris also fell into a private house.
The Russian forces also struck the Khmelnytsky region overnight, damaging a private residential building, outbuildings, a fence and several vehicles, said regional governor Serhii Tiururyn.
Meanwhile, air defense forces shot down three Russian missiles during the Western Lviv region overnight, said regional chief Maksym Kozytskyi.
In the north of the Chernihiv region, a Shahed drone exploded near an apartments building, breaking the windows and the doors, according to the regional military administration Dmytro Bryzhynskyi. He added that explosions of ballistic missiles have been recorded on the outskirts of the city.
