Kyiv awoke on 4 July to a blanket of thick black smoke after what eyewitnesses described as a night of sustained Russian missile and drone strikes. Residents reported a pervasive smell of burning and severely degraded air quality across the Ukrainian capital. Local authorities have yet to release details on casualties or the extent of damage, but emergency services were seen responding to fires believed to have been sparked by the barrage. The attack is the latest in a series of Russian aerial assaults aimed at urban centers and infrastructure as the war enters its third year.
