In addition, according to rescue workers, 17 people are still missing in the rubble of a destroyed apartment block, as Ukrainian media reported. Dozens of injured people need to be treated.
On Thursday evening, the authorities in Kiev were still talking about 16 dead. Russia had attacked the metropolis of millions and other cities during the night with hundreds of drones, rockets and cruise missiles - an unusually violent attack even after more than four years of war.
According to Ukrainian authorities, dozens of residential buildings were damaged across the country. The outskirts of Kiev and the Kharkiv and Odessa regions were also hit hard. On Wednesday, Russia had already carried out one of the most violent and longest-lasting attacks on Ukraine since the start of the war in February 2022 with more than 800 drones.
