Ukraine endured its heaviest aerial attack since the war began, as Russia launched a massive wave of missiles and drones early Sunday, killing at least four people and igniting the government’s cabinet building in the heart of Kyiv.

The unprecedented assault saw over 800 drones and 13 missiles fired in one night, according to Ukraine’s air force.

The attacks struck not only government buildings but also homes, leaving families shattered.

Among the victims were a mother and her two-month-old baby, killed in their apartment when part of the building collapsed.

In another heartbreaking case, a 24-year-old pregnant woman gave birth prematurely after being wounded. Doctors are struggling to save both her and her newborn.

Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko mourned the destruction, saying: “We can rebuild the buildings, but we cannot bring back lost lives.”

International leaders, including France’s President Emmanuel Macron, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and EU chief Ursula von der Leyen, strongly condemned the strikes, calling them “cowardly” and a “mockery of diplomacy.”

Despite Moscow’s denial of hitting civilian targets, residents like Olga, who survived in a damaged Kyiv apartment block, described the routine horror of Russian attacks: “First come the Shahed drones, then the rockets.”

The barrage also claimed the lives of seven horses at a suburban equestrian club, underscoring how war spares neither humans nor animals.

With Russia still occupying nearly 20% of Ukraine, the conflict continues to grind on, marking Europe’s deadliest war since World War II, displacing millions and leaving deep humanitarian scars.
