AP PHOTOS: Kyiv comes under large-scale Russian drone and missile attack
- Early on Saturday, Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, was targeted by an extensive assault involving Russian drones and missiles, occurring just hours after a significant prisoner swap between Russia and Ukraine commenced.
- The attack followed a complex prisoner swap agreed last week in Istanbul, involving 1,000 prisoners from each side, with 390 Ukrainians returned in the first phase.
- Explosions, machine gun fire, and more than 20 incoming Russian strike drones forced many Kyiv residents to shelter underground while debris fell across four city districts.
- Six people required medical care, two fires broke out in Solomianskyi district, and Mayor Vitalii Klitschko reported drone debris hitting a shopping mall and residential building in Obolon.
- Despite the exchange described as a confidence-building measure, fighting continued along the 1,000-kilometer front, with no ceasefire agreement reached and further releases expected this weekend.
