Russian Daytime Attack Strikes Kyiv as Morning Assaults Injure Civilians in Southern Ukraine

Explosions were heard over Kyiv during a rare Russian daytime attack on Monday, while separate morning strikes in southern Ukraine left several civilians injured. In the Kherson region, a 67-year-old man was wounded while in his car during a Russian assault. Meanwhile, Russian attacks on Zaporizhzhia injured three people: an 18-year-old man and two women aged 48 and 81. The daytime assault on Ukraine's capital represents an unusual departure from Russia's typical pattern of nighttime strikes on major cities, while the southern regions continue to face regular bombardment due to their proximity to Russian-controlled territory and active front lines.
