Russia Bombs Kyiv for 6th Straight Day — 9 Dead, Children Hurt

For the sixth day in a row, Russia launched air attacks on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, killing at least nine people and wounding more than a dozen. Among the dead were civilians going about their daily lives. In Kyiv alone, eight people died, including three children, and fires broke out across the city. In the nearby town of Boryspil, one more person was killed and nine were injured when a residential building and a business facility were hit.

These aren't just military targets. The strikes are hitting homes, schools, and workplaces. Emergency crews are rushing to put out fires and pull people from rubble. Air raid alerts blared across most of Ukraine in the early hours, sending families into shelters. For millions in the capital, daily life now means constant fear, interrupted work, and sleepless nights.

The attacks go beyond Kyiv. Russia is also striking Ukraine's border regions, energy facilities, and supply routes. On Tuesday, a fresh strike halted border crossings into Romania, a member of the EU and NATO, along the Danube River. That matters far beyond Ukraine — it threatens food and fuel shipments that the rest of Europe relies on.

This war, which began with Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, remains the deadliest conflict in Europe since World War II. There are constant efforts to find a peaceful solution, but the violence is escalating. Every day of bombing brings more tragedy and pushes the region, and the world, closer to wider instability.
