In a retaliatory strike following Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil facilities, Russia unleashed an 11-hour drone and missile attack on Kyiv overnight into Thursday morning. The bombardment left at least 20 civilians dead and over 90 injured in the city, according to local authorities. The assault targeted residential buildings and civilian infrastructure across 30 locations. Ukraine's increasing frequency and large-scale attacks, particularly against oil refineries, have caused a fuel crisis that has strained Russian resources for over four years. Ukrainian advances in drone engineering have given it an edge in recent months, causing supply disruptions behind the front line and slowing Russian progress on the battlefield. The attack comes as diplomatic efforts to end the conflict, most recently by the Trump administration, have failed to produce results. Kyiv's forces continue to target supplies to Crimea, exacerbating fuel shortages on the Black Sea peninsula. Despite the destruction, Ukrainian officials maintain their goal is to force President Putin to negotiate an end to the war.
