Russian strikes on Kyiv area kill several, including a child
At least four people, including a child, were killed in Russian drone and missile strikes on Kyiv and its surrounding regions early Saturday, while Ukraine continued hitting Russian oil refineries.
Russian forces launched drone and missile strikes on Kyiv and nearby regions in the early hours of Saturday, killing at least four people, among them a child. The attack fits a pattern of near-daily Russian strikes that have been taking advantage of Ukraine's stretched and limited air defence capabilities.
Ukraine keeps up pressure on Russian energy sites
In parallel, Ukraine carried out a fresh strike on an oil refinery inside Russia, extending its ongoing campaign of long-range attacks against Russian energy infrastructure. The strategy is aimed at deepening a fuel crisis within Russia that could hamper the country's broader war effort.
The exchange of strikes underscores that the conflict continues at a steady pace, with neither side showing signs of easing its approach. France 24 correspondent Emmanuelle Chaze reported on the latest developments from the region.
