Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that rescue operations are continuing in a nine-story residential building in Kyiv that was struck by a Russian drone attack.

President Zelensky said that part of the building was completely destroyed and dozens of people were pulled from the rubble, but one person lost their life. “My condolences to their families and loved ones. People may still be trapped under the debris,” he said.

Zelensky announced that Russia launched more than 670 attack drones and 56 missiles against Ukraine overnight, including ballistic and cruise missiles.
