Russian strike on Kyiv kills at least four, destroys popular book market

Kyiv was struck by Russian forces on Sunday in an attack that killed at least four people and left six others injured. The strike also destroyed a well-known outdoor book market in the Ukrainian capital.

In the aftermath, vendors hurried to the site to assess the damage caused by the attack. Several of them said they had lost their shops and, with them, their means of making a living.

The book market had long been a popular gathering spot for Kyiv residents, and its destruction, alongside the human casualties, underscores the broad impact the strike had on everyday life in the city.
