Russia bombs Kyiv killing four & injuring dozens in missile & drone blitz as Putin plots revenge for Op Spiderweb

RUSSIA has unleashed an overnight missile and drone blitz on Ukraine, killing four in Kyiv.

At least 20 others are injured in the Ukrainian capital as fires had to be put out around the city.

Explosions ripped through the Kyiv skyline and air defences could be seen firing near the giant Mother Ukraine statue.

Vladimir Putin has barbarically continued to target innocent civilians – despite claiming he wants peace.

Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed four had died and 20 were injured and said search and rescue operations were underway at several locations.

In Solomyanskyi district, a fire broke out on the 11th floor of a 16-story residential building.

Emergency services evacuated three people from the apartment, and rescue operations were ongoing.

Another fire broke out in a metal warehouse after.

In the northern part of Chernihiv region, an explosion caused by a Shahed drone occurred close to a residential building. This incident resulted in the breaking of windows and doors, as reported by Dmytro Bryzhynskyi, the head of the regional military administration.

He added that explosions from ballistic missiles were also recorded on the outskirts of the city.

Ukraine also attacked Russia overnight, with the Russians claiming to have shot down 174 drones.

That was not all of them – as a huge explosion tore through Bryansk airport.

The nighttime attack came hours after US President Donald Trump said it might be better to let Ukraine and Russia fight for a while.

The President has been so far unsuccessful on getting the two countries to agree to peace – with Moscow not moving on its demands.

During a meeting with Germany’s recently appointed chancellor, Friedrich Merz, Trump discussed the ongoing crisis. Merz urged Trump to use his influence as a key figure in global affairs to intervene and stop the violence by putting pressure on Putin.

The American has also hailed Ukraine’s daring Operation Spiderweb attack as “strong and badass”.

The US president heaped praise on Volodymyr Zelensky for his calculated drone assault attack – but warned it has only made Vlad crazier.

The Kremlin dictator held a 75 minute phone call with Trump on Wednesday as they discussed rising tensions in Ukraine.

Top of the agenda was reportedly the 117 drone blitz over the weekend which left four of Russia’s key airbases up in flames.

The daring Operation Spiderweb saw a fired up Ukraine wreck 41 Russian planes across the strategic airfields.

Putin’s doomsday bomber fleet was crippled with a third of his most prized aircraft lying in smouldering wrecks.

Russia’s ambassador in London pinned some of the blame for the attack on Britain.

Moscow diplomat Andrei Kelin said that Ukrainian attacks “are bringing the conflict to a different level of escalation”.

Russian ambassador to the UK Kelin warned that Kyiv shouldn’t “try to engulf World War Three” in an interview with Sky News.

He also seemingly blamed the UK for potentially providing Ukraine with weaponry that could have been used during the weekend attacks.
