Russian airstrikes on Ukrainian civilian targets today have killed at least 30 people so far. Ukrainian officials warned residents to evacuate urban areas immediately. Today's attacks have been described as the "biggest escalation" in the conflict so far, with strikes reaching Kyiv and killing civilians.

Last night, Ukrainian officials issued a stark warning to residents: Russia is planning to intensify its airstrikes against civilian targets in populated areas. The warning was confirmed this morning with the onset of intense Russian airstrikes on Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, the capital.

In the attacks that ensued, at least 30 people have been killed, and at least 84 others have been wounded, according to Ukrainian officials. This escalation has been described as the "biggest" since the conflict began almost four months ago, in February.

Russian missiles reached the capital, Kyiv, where at least one residential building was hit. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said in a statement on Telegram that several homes were hit, leaving at least one person dead and four others wounded.

The attacks on Ukrainian civilian targets have prompted countries around the world to condemn Russia's actions, with many calling for an immediate ceasefire. The United States, the European Union, and the United Nations have all condemned the attacks in strong words, with the UN security council planning to hold an emergency meeting to address the escalation later today.
