Huge Russian strike on Ukraine's capital kills at least 21, officials say

Kyiv, Ukraine — Russia hit Ukraine's capital overnight with the biggest attack since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of the neighboring country more than four years ago, Kyiv's mayor said Thursday. The state emergency services said at least 21 people were killed and 85 were wounded, including two children.

Loud explosions rocked the city for hours and residents took shelter in metro stations and other shelters following a warning of an imminent attack by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other officials.

The attack with ballistic and cruise missiles and drones damaged buildings and civilian infrastructure across Kyiv. Russia used 74 missiles and 496 drones, Ukraine's air force said, according to the Reuters news service.

CBS News' Aidan Stretch emerged from a shelter Thursday morning in eastern Kyiv to see the remains of a nine-story apartment building brought down by the strikes. Emergency workers dug through the rubble as residents from the area lined up nearby for materials to start patching up their homes.

Ukraine taking down oil refineries, bomb making facilities and basically avoiding the civilian population.

Putin is a murderer.
