Russia launched a drone strike on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv early on Wednesday, wounding at least six people and damaging buildings in two districts, city officials said. Explosions boomed across the morning sky as Ukraine's air force warned of drones approaching the city and Mayor Vitali Klitschko said air defences were repelling an enemy attack.

Russia's gas transit to Europe via Ukraine stopped on Moscow and Kyiv said, ending a decades-long arrangement and marking the latest casualty of the war between the neighbours. Russian gas has been supplied to Europe via pipelines crossing Ukraine since the end of the Soviet Union in 1991 in an arrangement that earned revenues for Moscow from the gas and for Kyiv from the transit fees.

Russia launched an aerial attack on Ukraine, striking the capital and other regions with multiple missiles and drones.

During 2024, the Russians fired more than 1,600 times at Kyiv, using attack drones, cruise, ballistic and hypersonic missiles. Air-raid warnings were issued 500 times in the capital. Source: Kyiv City Military Administration on Telegram Quote from Serhii Popko,
