Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko urged residents to seek shelter as waves of missiles and drones entered Ukrainian airspace overnight, with explosions occurring shortly before 2 a.m. nearby. The attack caused fires in private homes and a market, with debris igniting additional fires and a partial building collapse in the darnytskyi district. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned of another potential <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/risk-of-war-with-china-is-real-and-rising\/\" title=\"Growing risk of war with China\">large-scale missile strike<\/a>,citing intelligence that Russia was preparing such an attack,which was believed to be retaliation for Ukraine\u2019s recent strikes on Russian targets,including an oil refinery and military facilities. These operations have disrupted Russian fuel supplies and infrastructure. Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged the strain caused by Ukraine\u2019s attacks but vowed to continue Russia\u2019s campaign.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/russia\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"80\">Russian<\/a> missile and drone attack struck a residential apartment building in <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kyiv\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"2837\">Kyiv<\/a> early Thursday morning local time, injuring at least 11 people and trapping residents beneath the rubble, according to <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ukraine\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"82\">Ukrainian<\/a> officials.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko urged residents to take shelter as waves of ballistic missiles and drones entered Ukrainian airspace overnight, starting around 11 p.m. local time as <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >air defense systems engaged incoming missiles<\/a>.
