Russia launched a heavy drone and missile attack on Kyiv overnight, causing explosions, fires, and injuring at least eight people. The assault comes as both countries carried out their largest prisoner swap since the war began—adding a grim contrast to the rare moment of diplomacy.

Editor’s Note: This story highlights the relentless violence of the war, even amid small signs of negotiation. The prisoner swap offers a sliver of hope, but the continued attacks on civilians underscore how far peace still is. For Kyiv residents, it’s another night of terror—and a reminder that the war grinds on with no end in sight.
