Video footage of Russia's overnight ballistic missile attack on Kyiv was circulated Saturday by Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12), showing the scale of the barrage. The footage captures the intensity of the assault, which the Kyiv mayor and Ukrainian State Emergency Service confirmed killed nine people and wounded 28, including four children. Rescue operations are ongoing, with 105 people rescued so far from collapsed buildings.
The attack, which occurred overnight Friday into Saturday, involved dozens of ballistic missiles. According to the Ukrainian State Emergency Service, 25 missiles struck the capital within less than an hour, marking one of the most concentrated bombardments of recent weeks. The strike caused partial collapse of a residential building where several people were initially trapped.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Saturday, the attack is part of a pattern of intensified Russian strikes on Ukrainian urban centers. Earlier this week, reports indicated Russia used North Korean-supplied missiles in its operations. The high volume of fire in a short window suggests a deliberate attempt to overwhelm local air defense systems.
The video footage, released hours after the attack, provides a visual record of the barrage. Casualty figures are based on official Ukrainian sources and Israeli media reports, including N12 and ynet.
