Early on Thursday, February 12, 2026, the Ukrainian capital Kyiv faced a 'massive' assault from Russian missiles, resulting in hits on various buildings, city officials reported. On Telegram, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said, "A mass attack on the capital is still underway." He noted strikes on both residential and non-residential structures on either side of the Dnipro River that divides the city.
Missile fragments fell near two residential buildings in one district, but no fire broke out and no casualties were reported. Emergency medical teams were dispatched to the area. Tymur Tkachenko, head of the capital's military administration, reported at least one hit in an eastern suburb.
Reuters witnesses heard explosions resounding in the city. Meanwhile, the southeastern city of Dnipro also endured an attack, according to regional governor Oleksandr Ganzha on Telegram. Some private homes and cars were damaged, though there were no signs of casualties.
Air raid alerts remained active in both Kyiv and Dnipro well after midnight. Officials provided no further details on damage or injuries.
