Russian strike sets Kyiv monastery ablaze in deadliest attack on capital in weeks

A major Russian drone and missile attack on Kyiv has killed at least four people, injured 23 others and left around 140,000 residents without power, according to Ukrainian authorities. The overnight barrage sparked a fire at the historic Kyiv Pechersk Lavra monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site founded in 1051, causing significant damage to one of Ukraine's most important religious and cultural landmarks. Ukraine's military said Russia launched 70 missiles and 611 drones overnight, while air defense systems worked to repel the attack across the capital. #Ukraine #Russia #Kyiv #PecherskLavra #BreakingNews #Conflict
