Kiev: A mass Russian drone and missile attack on Ukraine’s capital on Sunday killed at least two people and sent smoke rising from the roof of a key government building. Associated Press reporters saw a plume of smoke above Kiev’s Cabinet of Ministers building.

According to TRTworld.com, Ukraine’s Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko stated that for the first time during the war, an enemy strike damaged the main building of the Ukrainian government. Among the dead was a one-year-old child, whose body was recovered from the rubble by rescuers, said Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kiev’s city administration.

Russian drone debris also struck a nine-storey residential building in Kiev’s Sviatoshynskyi district and a four-storey residential building in Darnytskyi district, according to Mayor Vitalii Klitschko. Sunday’s assault marks the second mass Russian drone and missile attack on Kiev in two weeks, as hopes for peace talks continue to fade.

Meanwhile, Ukraine attacked the Druzhba (Friendship) oil pipeline in Russia’s Bryansk region, the commander of Ukraine’s drone forces, Robert Brovdi, said on Sunday. Brovdi posted on the Telegram messaging channel that “comprehensive fire damage” was inflicted on the pipeline. The transit pipeline supplies Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia.
