The death toll from Thursday's Russian attack on Kiev has risen to 30

The article reports on the increased death toll from Russia's Thursday attack on Kyiv, which has now reached 30 fatalities. Rescue teams continued their efforts, recovering three more bodies, while several people remain missing. The attack, described as brutal and bloody, targeted civilian infrastructure, with over 130 buildings damaged, including residential blocks, emergency services stations, and hotels. Ukrainian forces confirmed that the main target was Kyiv, with Russian forces using 74 missiles and 496 drones from multiple directions. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted 48 missiles and 476 drones. The article notes that most Russian attacks are directed at civilian infrastructure rather than military targets, according to Ukrainian authorities. It also mentions a separate Russian attack on Sumy, where four civilians were killed, and highlights the growing crisis of fuel shortages in Russia, which is being used as part of Kremlin propaganda to justify further aggression. The article criticizes Russian claims of targeting 'military-strategic objectives' and suggests that these attacks are intended to destabilize Ukraine internally.
