Russia claimed Sunday morning that it carried out one of the largest missile attacks on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, while Ukraine's military reported that 20 sites were hit. The claims, cited by Israeli media outlet ynet, could not be independently verified. The attack appears to be the same as the one reported at 02:18 Jerusalem, when The Zioneer reported that Russia launched at least 30-40 missiles at Kyiv. That report, based on a single source, noted that details on casualties and damage were not yet available. The current update from Russia and Ukraine provides the first damage assessment, with 20 sites hit, but no casualty figures have been released. The scale of the attack, described by Russia as one of the largest, marks a significant escalation in the air campaign against the capital. The attack follows a pattern of escalating strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure, but the exact extent of damage remains unclear.
