Israeli Teen Killed in Russian Drone Strike on Kyiv Apartment Building
A 14-year-old boy with dual Israeli citizenship was killed Friday morning when a Russian drone struck an apartment building in Kyiv, Ukraine's capital. Israel's Foreign Ministry confirmed the incident, stating that the Israeli consulate in Kyiv and the department for Israelis in distress abroad are handling the case, maintaining contact with the boy's family and providing assistance.
The drone attack occurred around 8:00 AM and hit the family's home, according to the Federation of Jewish Communities in Ukraine. The boy's mother was also injured in the strike and was taken for medical treatment. The family had previously immigrated to Israel but returned to Ukraine approximately 20 years ago.
The Jewish communities issued a statement condemning the ongoing Russian attacks on Ukraine, which result in daily casualties. They noted that this marks the fifth holiday season since the war began and that communities are striving to maintain normalcy amidst the difficult reality, expressing prayers for peace.
