Russian Missile Strikes Kyiv Apartment Building

A Russian missile struck an apartment building in Kyiv overnight, causing the structure to partially collapse during a large-scale raid. Rescue workers were seen digging through the rubble early Thursday morning in search of survivors. The strike took place even as a U.S.-mediated ceasefire proposal was under discussion.

Attack During Ceasefire Proposal Ukrainian officials said Russia has launched more than 1,500 drones since Wednesday despite the ceasefire proposal. One drone strike collapsed a residential building in the Ukrainian capital. The overnight raid was described as massive, with the missile impact reported by multiple outlets.

Rescue operations continued into the morning as emergency crews sifted through debris at the site.

The strike is part of a broader aerial offensive that has seen more than 1,500 drones deployed in recent days. Officials described the volume of drones as unusually high even by the standards of the ongoing conflict. No immediate casualty figures were released in initial reports.

Search efforts focused on locating anyone trapped inside the partially collapsed structure. The U.S.-mediated proposal has not yet produced a halt in operations on either side. Ukrainian officials have highlighted the timing of the strike as evidence that Russian forces continue offensive actions amid negotiations.

Russian authorities have not issued an immediate statement on the specific Kyiv incident. The incident marks the latest in a series of strikes on civilian infrastructure in the capital. Rescue teams worked through the morning to clear rubble and reach potential survivors trapped beneath collapsed floors.
