Kyiv, Ukraine – A flood of Russian missiles and a flood of unmanned planes in kyiv during the night on Tuesday killed at least 14 people while they slept in their homes and wounded another 44 in one of the most mortal attacks against the Ukrainian capital in recent months, local officials said.

Russian unmanned aircraft strikes in the Port City of southern Odessa also wounded 13 people, including a child, according to Oleh Kiper, the regional governor.

Emergency workers were in the place to rescue people from under the rubble. UkraineThe emergency service said that 44 people were injured.

The military administration of the city of kyiv said in a statement that “the nature of the damage is a direct success in residential buildings. Rockets, from the upper floors to the basement.”

The attack lasted almost nine hours and is the last one in a series of massive drones attacks and missiles against kyiv.

It happened when world leaders gathered at the group of seven in Canada, which is expected to attend Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The summit extends until Tuesday.

Zelenskyy said in X that Russia launched more than 440 drones and 32 missiles to Ukraine during the night. “Kyiv has faced one of the most horrible attacks,” said Zelenskyy.

Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko told journalists on the scene that an American citizen was killed in the attack after suffering shrapnel wounds. Explosions could be heard for hours throughout Tuesday night.

Thirty apartments were destroyed in a single residential block after it was beaten by a ballistic missile, Klymenko said.

“We have 27 locations that were attacked by the enemy. We currently have more than 2,000 people who work there, rescuers, police, municipal and medical services,” journalists told the journalists at the scene of one of the attacks.

Olena Lapyshniak, 49, was shaken from the attack that almost level her apartment building. He listened to a whistling sound and then two explosions that blew their windows and doors.

“It’s horrible, it’s afraid, there is no life in a moment,” he said. “There is no military infrastructure here, nothing here, nothing. It’s horrible when people simply die at night.”

People were injured in the districts of Svatoshynskyi and Solomianskyi of the city. The mayor of kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, said that fires broke out in two other districts of the city as a result of the debris fall of the drones knocked down by the Ukrainian aerial defenses.

Zelenskyy would meet with President Trump at the meeting on Tuesday, but Trump Left Canada early. The White House announced that its early departure, which was not expected, was due to Tensions in the Middle East.

Russia has launched a record number of drones and missiles in recent weeks. Moscow intensified the attacks after the Ukraine Security Service Agency organized a bold operation aimed at war planes in air bases in the Russian territory.

Small progress has emerged from the direct peace talks held in Istanbul, with the exception of exchanges of prisonersit is expected to end next week, said Zelenskyy.
