Russia conducted a drone strike in the Kyiv region of Ukraine, damaging several buildings in Brovary and resulting in at least six civilian deaths overnight.
On the 1488th day of the ongoing conflict, Russia launched a drone attack on the Kyiv region in Ukraine, with local authorities reporting significant damage to several buildings in Brovary, including residential and commercial properties. This attack has resulted in the tragic loss of at least six civilian lives, highlighting the ongoing danger faced by civilians in the area amidst the hostilities.
In retaliation, Ukraine targeted sites in Russia and occupied territories, confirming strikes on an oil refinery in Russia's Saratov region as well as on a command post of Russia's elite drone unit 'Rubikon' in Mariupol.
