Μία 21χρονη έχασε τη ζωή της και πέντε ακόμα άνθρωποι τραυματίστηκαν από νέες ρωσικές πυραυλικές επιθέσεις στο Κίεβο και άλλες περιοχές της Ουκρανίας κατά τη διάρκεια της νύχτας της Κυριακής (18.10.26).
Λίγο πριν από τα μεσάνυχτα της Κυριακής, ο δήμαρχος της πρωτεύουσας της Ουκρανίας, Βιτάλι Κλίτσκο, ενημέρωσε μέσω Telegram για πλήγματα από σε δύο συνοικίες του Κιέβου κι ακολούθως ανέφερε πως μια 21χρονη κοπέλα σκοτώθηκε κι άλλοι δύο άνθρωποι τραυματίστηκαν. Ένα ιατρικό κέντρο στη συνοικία Ντεσνιάνσκι κι άλλο ένα κτίριο στη συνοικία Ντνιπρόβσκι υπέστησαν ζημιές, σύμφωνα με την ενημέρωση του δημάρχου. Ακολούθησε δεύτερο κύμα ρωσικών επιθέσεων γύρω στις 3 τα ξημερώματα. Ο δήμαρχος του Κιέβου ανέφερε καταστροφές σε σταθμό του μετρό και σε ένα 25ώροφο συγκρότημα κατοικιών στη συνοικία Σολομιάνσκι, όπου τρεις άνθρωποι τραυματίστηκαν.
Σύμφωνα με τον Ουκρανό πρόεδρο, Βολοντίμιρ Ζελένσκι, λόγω των ρωσικών επιθέσεων σε ενεργειακούς στόχους σε τουλάχιστον 10 περιοχές της Ουκρανίας κατά την διάρκεια της νύχτας περίπου 500.000 άνθρωποι έχουν μείνει χωρίς ηλεκτροδότηση.
«Η Ουκρανία δεν έλαβε ειδοποίηση για την επίθεση της Ρωσίας με βαλλιστικούς πυραύλους», πρόσθεσε ο πρόεδρος της Ουκρανίας.
Overnight, Russia launched 16 ballistic missiles at Kyiv and the Kyiv region, and more than 200 drones, including jet-powered Shaheds, across Ukraine.
Energy facilities were the main target, but a clinic, a school, a metro station and homes were also hit. There are casualties. At least 550,000 families lost power.
Ukraine has said yes to every ceasefire proposal. Russia keeps answering with missiles.

Some people were outside during the missile attack on Kyiv, and were lucky to avoid debris, if not the missiles themselves. https://t.co/QX7ex8NglW

Ukraine again received no advance warning from its partners before Russia’s overnight ballistic missile strike on Kyiv, sources told Radio Svoboda despite Zelensky saying the U.S. had resumed sharing missile launch intelligence.
The attack killed a 21-year-old woman and injured three people, two of whom were hospitalized, while three more were treated at the scene after debris hit a residential building.
Kyiv’s metro said an above-ground station, tracks and cables were damaged, forcing the closure of Chernihivska and Lisova stations.
It is the second time this month that Kyiv was hit without warning, after partners failed to alert Ukraine to the first wave of a ballistic strike on October 12.

‼️BREAKING || FIVE BALLISTIC MISSILES HIT KYIV THERMAL POWER PLANT 4 — RUSSIAN STRIKES TARGET UKRAINE CRITICAL ENERGY
KYIV, Ukraine — Five Russian ballistic missiles reportedly struck the Darnitsa Thermal Power Plant No. 4 in Kyiv, in a major overnight attack targeting critical energy infrastructure in the Ukrainian capital.
Dramatic night-time footage shows a panoramic view of Kyiv illuminated by streetlights and the headlights of traffic as the defenceless city being attacked by Russian misdiles.
The camera remains trained on the urban skyline, capturing five individual missile impacts without any interception attempts by Ukaraine.
The reported targeting of the thermal power plant raises fresh concerns over the resilience of Kyiv’s energy infrastructure, with damage to major heating and electricity facilities potentially carrying serious consequences for the city’s residents as colder weather approaches.
The number of missiles, the extent of damage to the facility and the impact on heat and electricity supplies require further confirmation from independent sources and Ukrainian authorities.
