Russia launched one of the most devastating aerial barrages of its four-year war against Ukraine overnight on Sunday, striking every district of Kyiv with a combined wave of 600 drones and 90 missiles, including the hypersonic nuclear-capable Oreshnik ballistic missile. At least four people were killed and 56 wounded in Kyiv alone, with 30 of the wounded hospitalized, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko. Damage was recorded at 40 locations across the capital, hitting residential buildings, a school, the Museum of Chernobyl, a market, and sites near government offices.
