Kyiv faced its deadliest Russian assault in nine months as missiles and drones pounded the capital for 11 hours, killing at least 12 and wounding 90. The attack damaged multiple neighborhoods, forcing families into shelters. President Zelenskyy cut short a South Africa visit, calling the bombardment one of Russia’s “most outrageous.” U.S. President Donald Trump issued rare criticism of Putin, urging him to “STOP!” as peace talks remain deadlocked. The Ukrainian military reported over 200 weapons used in the assault. European leaders condemned Moscow, citing the strike as further proof of Russia’s disregard for peace efforts. (PC: AP)
