A large-scale Russian drone and missile attack on Kyiv, Ukraine, on July 21, resulted in at least one death and six injuries. Explosions and fires erupted across the capital, targeting residential buildings and a daycare. The attack occurred despite ongoing peace talks proposals between Ukraine and Russia. This is described as the largest attack since the full-scale invasion began, with infrastructure damage reported in several areas, including the western city of Ivano-Frankivsk. Russia's intensified attacks have prompted stronger sanctions and renewed support for Ukraine from its allies.
