A combined Russian missile and drone attack targeted the Kyiv region overnight into Saturday, killing at least four people and wounding 15 others, according to regional authorities.

The strikes hit four districts, causing damage to residential buildings, schools, businesses, railway workshops, and an industrial facility in Brovary, a town near the capital. Firefighters extinguished blazes in a residential neighborhood and a household services center, while sappers examined craters from drones. Shrapnel-riddled walls and a bus near the railway site.

Kyiv Oblast Governor Mykola Kalashnyk reported the casualties, noting three people in critical condition and two undergoing surgery. Initial tallies cited two deaths and five injuries, but the toll rose as emergency teams assessed the damage.

Ukraine's Air Force stated Russia launched approximately 430 drones of various types and 68 missiles, including Kalibr cruise missiles from Black Sea ships and ballistic missiles aimed at Kyiv. Air defenses intercepted 402 drones and 58 missiles, though debris still caused widespread harm. Power outages affected consumers in six regions, with energy infrastructure outside Kyiv among the targets.

Attacks extended beyond Kyiv, injuring four people, including two children, in Zaporizhzhia and prompting alerts in Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipro, and Mykolaiv.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy condemned the assault, accusing Russia of using the Israel-Iran conflict as cover to intensify strikes on civilian areas. "Russia is using the situation in Iran as cover to step up its attacks," he said on social media, urging Western partners to increase production of air-defense systems.

The barrage occurred as U.S.-brokered peace talks stalled, postponed amid Middle East tensions. Both Russia and Ukraine have claimed recent front-line advances, complicating negotiations.

Russia's Defense Ministry did not immediately comment on the strikes. The assault fits a pattern of near-daily aerial campaigns targeting Ukrainian infrastructure since the full-scale invasion began in February 2022. February 2026 saw record drone and missile barrages, with hundreds launched in a single night.

Emergency services continued clearing debris Saturday morning, as air raid alerts echoed across central Ukraine.
