KYIV — Russia bombarded Ukraine’s capital city with drones and missiles Sunday night, killing at least one person and striking the entrance to a subway station where hundreds were sheltering.
The assault was the first heavy targeting of Kyiv in a week, breaking a weeklong streak of Moscow easing up pressure on the capital while Special Presidential Envoy retired Gen. Keith Kellogg was in town for talks with Ukrainian leadership.
Ukraine’s air defense systems were activated, repelling the attack – though explosions were still heard around the city.
Throughout last week, Ukrainians jokingly referred to the envoy as “St. Kellogg” for apparently triggering Russia’s pause in heavy strikes for fear of wounding the general and enraging President Trump.
Sunday night’s attack caused multiple fires in Kyiv and damaged a subway station as well as a kindergarten, shops and houses, according to city officials.
Videos surfaced on social media of the underground station filling with smoke as people sheltered inside.
