The strikes underscore the continuing danger to Ukraine’s capital as Russia maintains its campaign of long-range attacks. Reuters also reported that Russian forces struck a second major bridge in Kyiv, while international coverage described worsening humanitarian conditions in occupied Kherson, where residents face shortages of food, medicine, water and electricity. The latest casualties add to mounting concern over civilian protection and the potential for further escalation.
