Russian airstrike targets Ukrainian capital as Kyiv authorities declare official day of mourning for victims
Ukrainian authorities announced that the death toll from the airstrike launched by the Russian military on the capital Kyiv on May 14 has risen to 24, according to the latest official figures released by the competent authorities.
Following the announcement of the rising toll, Kyiv declared an official day of mourning for a full day in tribute to the victims who died in the airstrike, a step that reflects the scale of shock the strike inflicted on the population.
The attack came within the context of ongoing Russian military operations on Ukrainian territory since the war erupted, a situation that has prompted Ukrainian authorities to intensify air defense efforts across various cities and vital areas, foremost among them the capital Kyiv, which remains a repeated target of Russian strikes.
