Russia's Largest-Ever Kyiv Strike Kills at Least 17

Russia launched its largest-ever combined missile and drone strike on Kyiv overnight, killing at least 17 civilians. Loud explosions shook the capital for hours. Many residents sheltered in subway stations during the barrage.

Kyiv's mayor declared a day of mourning and called it the "most massive attack on the capital." The Russian defense ministry said it launched a "massive strike using long-range precision air, land, and sea-based weapons and attack drones." The attack prompted Poland to scramble fighter jets and Finland to restrict its airspace.

Ukraine has continued its own strikes on Russia's oil sector, NPR reported. The overnight assault was the largest yet -- a sharp escalation in Russia's attacks on the Ukrainian capital.
