Kyiv Freezes Under Drone Barrage: Third of Capital Loses Heat

A major Russian drone attack struck Kyiv early Wednesday, injuring eight people and cutting off heating to a third of the city during freezing winter weather. The assault hit five districts of the Ukrainian capital. Rescue workers are searching for one person reported trapped under rubble. The drones caused fires in three residential apartment buildings. Local authorities say the attack damaged key energy infrastructure. This has resulted in widespread heating outages as temperatures hover around freezing. Emergency crews are working to restore heat and power. The strike is part of a sustained Russian campaign targeting Ukrainian energy supplies. These attacks aim to weaken civilian morale during the winter months.
