Russia launches massive missile attack on Ukraine, 12 dead – Kyiv

Russia on Friday unleashed one of its biggest missile attacks on Ukraine of the war so far, killing 12 civilians, wounding dozens more and hitting residential buildings in Kyiv, the south and west of the country.
The city’s military administration said, ten people in Kyiv were trapped under rubble at a warehouse damaged by falling debris. The government said, a maternity ward was damaged in the city of Dnipro, but no casualties were reported.
Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said, “Today, millions of Ukrainians awoke to the loud sound of explosions. I wish those sounds of explosions in Ukraine could be heard all around the world,” calling for Kyiv’s allies to step up their support.
The vast end-of-year aerial assault comes as uncertainty is swirling over the scale and staying power of future Western military and financial support for Kyiv nearly two years into the war with Russia.
