Massive Russian attack on Ukraine’s capital kills at least 25 and injures many more | BBC News

Russian forces have carried out a mass drone and missile attack on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, killing 27 people, in what the city's mayor described as " massive attack" on the city. Ninety-one people were injured according to the head of Kyiv's military administration. Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said an ambulance station was among the places hit. Some neighbourhoods had been evacuated as the airstrikes hit the city hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had warned that Russia was preparing an attack. Moscow said its forces had hit what it called military plants in retaliation for attacks on Russian civilian infrastructure. The Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Russia would "continue to increase pressure on the Kyiv regime in order to achieve our set goals". Ukraine accused Moscow of targeting civilian areas and said it would be wrong to equate the actions of the "aggressor and a country defending itself".
