Zelenskyy calls for ‘strong decisions’ at Nato summit after Russia kills 14 in overnight strikes on Kyiv

A wave of Russian missiles and drones has struck Kyiv on the eve of a Nato summit in Turkey, killing more than a dozen people and heavily damaging apartment blocks and other buildings.

“In total, 14 people have died and 117 have been injured in Kyiv,” the office of the attorney general said on Monday morning.

Tymur Tkachenko, the head of the Kyiv region’s military administration, said:

“Sadly, this is not the final toll. Rescue operations are still ongoing.”

Dozens of people were hospitalised, including several children, he added.

In a Telegram post, the ministry said it had hit ​military and energy facilities in Kyiv ⁠and the surrounding area, as ​well ​as military airfields ​in several other regions.
