Kyiv Reels from One of War’s Largest Air Assaults as 15 Killed in Overnight Barrage

                                                     An apartment building in Kyiv that was hit by a Russian missile. In the early hours of Thursday, Russia unleashed one of its most intense aerial assaults on Ukraine’s capital since the start of the full-scale invasion, killing at least 15 people — including four children — and injuring 48.

Israel carried out a series of airstrikes on Wednesday targeting former army barracks in Kiswa, located in the southwestern countryside of Damascus, according to Syrian state media and military sources. The attack marked the second strike in the area within 24 hours, underscoring a sharp escalation in Israeli military activity in southern Syria.

The Kiswa region, along with nearby Jabal Manea, once served as a key stronghold for pro-Iranian militias during the Assad era. Syrian officials condemned the strikes as a violation of sovereignty, while Israel maintained its long-standing policy of declining comment on foreign reports.

The latest operation comes amid ongoing security talks between Damascus and Israel, aimed at reducing tensions after months of cross-border incidents. No immediate reports of casualties or damage were released, but the strikes follow a deadly drone attack a day earlier that killed six Syrian soldiers near the same location.

Analysts note that the timing of the strikes—coinciding with diplomatic engagement—signals Israel’s intent to maintain military pressure while negotiations unfold. The situation remains fluid, with regional observers warning of potential further escalation.
