Russian forces strike Kyiv and suburbs, damaging infrastructure and disrupting metro stations
Situation Overview
On 19 October 2026, Russian forces carried out night strikes on Kyiv and the surrounding area, with the Russian Ministry of Defence saying targets included military-industrial enterprises, storage sites for cruise missiles and drones, and a data-processing centre.
