Russia launched a large-scale attack on Kyiv overnight, killing 10 people, injuring at least 38 others and damaging buildings, Ukrainian officials said on Thursday.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a child was killed in the drone and missile attack.

"Right now in Kyiv, first responders are clearing the rubble of an ordinary residential building after a Russian strike," Zelenskyy said on X.

"Russia chooses ballistics instead of the negotiating table. It chooses to continue killing instead of ending the war. And this means that Russia still does not fear the consequences. Russia still takes advantage of the fact that at least part of the world turns a blind eye to murdered children and seeks excuses for Putin," he continued.

Zelenskyy added that it is "definitely time for new, tough sanctions against Russia for everything it is doing."

"All deadlines have already been broken, dozens of opportunities for diplomacy ruined. Russia must feel accountable for every strike, for every day of this war. Eternal memory to all victims of Russia," he said.

The Ukrainian Air Force said it knocked down 563 of 598 drones and 26 of 31 missiles launched by Russia in a country-wide attack. It said 13 locations were hit and debris fell at 26 locations.

"Unfortunately, the Russians' style is typical in their attacks," Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv's military administration, wrote on Telegram.

"Combined strikes, from different directions. And systematic, targeting ordinary residential buildings," the post added.

Officials said numerous buildings had sustained damage, including several high-rise apartment blocks.

In the Darnytskyi district, a five-floor building was partly destroyed, and rescue teams were searching the rubble for trapped people, Tkachenko said.

He said emergency crews responded to the aftermath of the attacks at more than 20 locations in the city.

Fires have also broken out in areas throughout the city.

António Costa, president of the European Council, said he was "horrified by yet another night of deadly Russian missile attacks on Ukraine."

"My thoughts are with the Ukrainian victims and also with the staff of @EUDelegationUA, whose building was damaged in this deliberate Russian strike," he wrote on X.

"The EU will not be intimidated. Russia’s aggression only strengthens our resolve to stand with Ukraine and its people," he added.

Separately, Russia's Defense Ministry said that its air defense systems intercepted 102 Ukrainian drones overnight.

Illinois' Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker said the state "will not stand idly by" if President Donald Trump makes good on his threat to deploy the National Guard to Chicago to respond to crime in the Windy City.

"Unlike Donald Trump, we keep our promises," the governor wrote Wednesday on X. "We will not stand idly by if he decides to send the National Guard to intimidate Chicagoans."

"Action will be met with a response," he continued.

Pritzker's comments are just the latest in his recent feud with Trump, as the federal government weighs whether to send troops to Chicago.

TRUMP SAYS 'INCOMPETENT' ILLINOIS GOVERNOR, 'NO BETTER' CHICAGO MAYOR SHOULD CALL HIM FOR HELP WITH CRIME

Last week, the governor said there is no crime emergency in Chicago and Trump is "attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he is causing working families."

"The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority," Pritzker said on Saturday. "There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the Illinois National Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders. We will continue to follow the law, stand up for the sovereignty of our state, and protect the people of Illinois."

On Monday, Pritzker said the potential federal deployment is "unconstitutional" and "un-American."

"Donald Trump wants to use the military to occupy a U.S. city, punish its dissidents and score political points," he said. "If this were happening in any other country, we would have no trouble calling it what it is — a dangerous power grab."

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, also a Democrat, has cited data showing that violent crime has declined in the last year, including homicides and robberies dipping by more than 30%, and shootings dropping by nearly 40%. Although, crime is still up compared to 2021, according to statistics posted by Chicago police.

GOV. PRITZKER SAYS TRUMP TRYING TO 'MANUFACTURE A CRISIS' AS ADMIN PLANS NATIONAL GUARD DEPLOYMENT TO CHICAGO

"The problem with the President's approach is that it is uncoordinated, uncalled for, and unsound," Johnson said on Friday. "Unlawfully deploying the National Guard to Chicago has the potential to inflame tensions between residents and law enforcement when we know that trust between police and residents is foundational to building safer communities."

"When we fight back against tyranny, the people united will always prevail," the mayor later said.

Other Illinois leaders have also made criticisms of the potential move to send troops to Chicago.

Trump responded to Pritzker and Johnson on Tuesday, writing in a social media post that the governor is "incompetent" and the mayor is "no better."

"A really DEADLY weekend in Chicago," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "6 DEAD, 27 HURT IN CRIME SPREES ALLOVER THE CITY. Panic stricken Governor Pritzker says that crime is under control, when in fact it is just the opposite. He is an incompetent Governor who should call me for HELP. Mayor Johnson is no better. Make Chicago Great Again!"

This comes after Trump's move to boost the presence of federal law enforcement in Washington, D.C., in an attempt to reduce crime. 

Hundreds of federal agents and National Guard troops have been deployed to the streets of D.C. as part of the federal takeover of the district.
