Kyiv under fire from Russian missiles after EU-Ukraine sign drone deal

Is the war entering a new phase? Ukrainian officials say the capital city of Kyiv has endured a major Russian assault as ballistic missiles rained down on multiple districts, setting off explosions. Writing on Telegram early on Thursday, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said that emergency services were battling blazes across the capital after a warehouse in the Sviatoshynskyi district and a non-residential building in the Darnytskyi district were hit. He added that falling missile debris had also struck a non-residential development area in Darnytsia, triggering additional fires. Ukraine's Air Force Command later confirmed that the immediate threat was lifted after approximately one hour.
