Russian air strikes killed at least 14 people in Kyiv in what President Volodymyr Zelenskiy described as “one of the most horrific attacks” as multiple locations in the Ukrainian capital were struck by drones and missiles or hit by debris.

A direct strike on a nine-story apartment building caused an entire section to collapse and the search was underway to find survivors in the debris, the Ukrainian president said in a post on X. He said it was unclear how many remained trapped, as buildings have been damaged across the city.
