Russia Attacks With Drones and Missiles Kiev and Other Cities in Ukraine. Four People Have Died and Dozens Have Been Injured.

Ukraine suffered, on this Sunday (09/07/2025), the largest airstrike since the beginning of the war. Moscow launched over 800 drones and missiles against different cities in the country, including Kiev, where a government building was hit for the first time.

The bombardment left at least four dead, including a child under one year old, in addition to dozens injured.

The Russian offensive, described as “vile” by President Volodymyr Zelensky, intensifies the escalation of the conflict and exposes the vulnerability of the Ukrainian capital after 11 consecutive hours of air raid alerts.

Largest Attack Since the Beginning of the War

According to the Ukrainian Air Force, Moscow fired 810 drones, four ballistic missiles, and nine cruise missiles during the operation.

Although most were intercepted by air defenses, 54 drones and nine missiles managed to hit targets in different regions of the country.

The number exceeds the offensive recorded in July, which was considered until then the largest since the Russian invasion began in February 2022.

According to Zelensky, the attacks caused widespread destruction and show that “murders, now when diplomacy could prevail, are a deliberate crime.”

Kiev Under Intense Fire

In the capital, the bombardment damaged the building housing Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko’s office, as well as some ministries near the parliament and the presidential headquarters.

“For the first time, the government building, its roof and upper floors were damaged by enemy attacks”, declared Svyrydenko, thanking the rescue teams for their work.

The attack also destroyed residential buildings in neighborhoods such as Sviatoshynskyi, where a child under one year old died buried under rubble.

Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that a nine-story building had four floors partially destroyed, while another 16-story building caught fire on the upper floors.

The images released by emergency services show open facades and firefighters battling flames amid the debris.

Deaths and Injuries in Different Regions After Russian Attack

In addition to the capital, the cities of Kryvyi Rih, Dnipro, Kremenchuk, and Odesa were hit. At least four people died across the country, and 44 were injured, according to official reports.

Among the victims are a young woman in Kiev and residents whose homes were destroyed.

The Ukrainian Emergency Service reported that at least 18 people were injured just in the capital. In Kremenchuk, a bridge over the Dnipro River was hit, affecting a strategic transport route in the center of the country.

Ukraine’s Reaction and Next Steps

In response to the attack, Ukraine claimed to have struck two energy facilities in Russian territory, located in Bryansk and southern Krasnodar.

Meanwhile, Defense Minister Denys Shmygal announced an emergency meeting to discuss strengthening air defenses and expanding response capability with long-range strikes.

Zelensky emphasized that “the world can make the Kremlin criminals stop killing, all we need is political will.”

For the Ukrainian president, international pressure is crucial to curb new bombings and reduce the suffering of the population.

Escalating War

The massive attack highlights a new phase of the war. With the increasing use of drones and missiles, Kiev faces greater difficulty in keeping its infrastructure protected, while Russia seeks to increase political and military pressure.

Despite the destruction, Svyrydenko stated that the damaged buildings will be rebuilt. However, she stressed: “The lost lives cannot be recovered. Every day, the enemy terrorizes and kills our people all over the country.”

Escalating War

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

A 250-ton transformer traveled 1,929 km by road in India on a slow and planned journey that demonstrates how the power grid relies on giant loads, detours, and impossible routes for regular trucks.

The largest car carrier ship in the world will unload 7,200 BYD cars at the SC Port in June, but before that, an Italian ship will arrive this Tuesday with another 4,500 vehicles, totaling 11,700 cars, 150 workers, and a 24-hour non-stop operation at the Port of Itajaí.

African country launched a $145 million project to rehabilitate 35 dams and drill deep wells seeking water stored for millennia beneath the desert, a plan that Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s government presents as a path to the country’s water sovereignty.

A 400-meter colossus powered by natural gas has just set sail from Shanghai to Europe, carrying over 24,000 containers. It is the world’s largest dual-fuel container ship and can cross the planet without refueling even once.

The largest highway concession company in Brazil already belongs to an Italian group, and now the railway sector may be next to receive billions in investments from Italy amid the progress of the Mercosur and European Union agreement.

A new study overturns the central idea we learned about planets and suggests that Earth is the exception rather than the rule; most rocky worlds in the galaxy may not have a core or mantle, just a single turbulent fluid extending to the center.
