KYIV UNDER FIRE: Russia Launches Relentless Drone & Missile Strikes On Kyiv And Kharkiv

Russian forces have unleashed a relentless wave of coordinated drone and missile strikes across multiple Ukrainian urban centers, hitting critical infrastructure and residential neighborhoods in Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, and the northeastern Kharkiv region. The massive overnight aerial barrage triggered widespread structural collapses and intense fires in densely populated civilian apartment blocks, forcing specialized units from Ukraine's State Emergency Service to launch hazardous, round-the-clock rescue operations to extract survivors trapped beneath the burning concrete rubble. As emergency personnel and local volunteers battled toxic smoke to salvage personal property and evacuate casualties, the Russian Defense Ministry issued a statement claiming its frontline ground units had secured fresh tactical advances near several key settlements within the fiercely contested Kharkiv and Donetsk sectors, including Kazachya Lopan and Konstantinovka. Despite Moscow's claims of shifting battlefield momentum, local authorities and resilient residents in the capital vowed to clear the debris and rebuild, even as military analysts warn of a dangerous intensification in long-range precision strikes across the country. #putin #zelensky #russiaukrainewar #ukrainewar #russia #ukraine #kyiv #kharkiv #breakingnews #worldnews #russiaukrainewar #timesnowworld In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: 🌐 Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world 📱 Instagram:   / timesnow.world   🐦 Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #timesnowworld #worldnews #breakingnews
