On April 24, 2025, the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, was the target of a new airstrike carried out by Russian forces. The bombing resulted in the deaths of 12 civilians and left more than 30 injured, including women and children. The attack has reignited international concern over the escalating war between Russia and Ukraine, which has now lasted more than two years.

The strikes hit residential neighborhoods and strategic areas of Kyiv, causing large-scale destruction and disrupting essential services. Images show buildings engulfed in flames, with ambulances and rescue teams working at full speed.

International security experts warn that this attack could signal a new phase in the conflict. The global community has already issued statements condemning the assault, and human rights organizations are raising alarms over potential war crimes committed by Russia.
