Ukraine’s capital Kyiv was jolted by one of the fiercest Russian missile barrages in months. Just before 2 a.m., Moscow unleashed a coordinated wave of Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, Iskander ballistic missiles and Kalibr cruise missiles on Kyiv — forcing terrified residents underground as metro stations turned into life-saving bunkers. Nationwide air-raid sirens screamed across Ukraine as drones and missiles crossed multiple regions. Air defenses roared into action over the capital, intercepting enemy drones as explosions lit the night sky orange. The strike comes just days before President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Florida to push a Trump-backed peace framework — raising fears that the battlefield is escalating even as diplomacy races against time.
