Summary
Six people were injured at a Kyiv market after Russian strikes hit the Ukrainian capital, leaving the site smouldering as firefighters worked to extinguish remaining hot spots.
Five people were reportedly killed across Ukraine in the wider wave of attacks, indicating the market strike was part of a broader barrage rather than an isolated hit.
Russian officials separately said seven people were killed in Russia in strikes by Ukraine, underscoring that cross-border attacks continued on both sides.
The Kyiv market, known for selling books and posters, showed the civilian impact of the latest exchanges as emergency crews responded in the capital.
