Russian missile and drone attack damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra and kills civilians across Ukraine.
Russia launched 70 missiles and 611 drones at Ukraine overnight, with Kyiv as the primary target. The Dormition Cathedral at the UNESCO-listed Kyiv Pechersk Lavra monastery caught fire, and at least nine people were killed across Ukraine, including five rescue workers in Kharkiv. The attack occurred ahead of a G7 summit and followed separate calls between Presidents Trump, Zelensky, and Putin.
