Israeli Teen Killed in Kyiv Drone Strike on Residential Building
A 14-year-old Israeli boy was killed Friday morning when a Russian drone struck a residential building in Kyiv, Ukraine, as part of a broader Russian attack on the city. The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed the fatality and stated that the Israeli consul in Kyiv and the department for Israelis in distress abroad are assisting the boy's family.
According to foreign reports, the drone hit a 16-story building in the central Pecherskyi district around 8:00 AM. Russian jet-powered drones were reportedly flying over the city at the time, triggering air raid sirens. Seven other people were injured in the incident, and authorities indicated that the number of casualties might still be determined. Damage was also reported to buildings in other areas of Kyiv.
The attack occurred just one day after a large-scale Russian assault involving missiles and drones across Ukraine. That previous offensive resulted in at least two deaths in Kyiv and damaged medical facilities in both Kyiv and Odesa.
