Russian Attacks Kill Four as Ukrainian Air Defences Fall Short
Ukraine said Russian drones and missiles killed four people in Kyiv region, while its forces struck a Russian oil refinery in Krasnodar.
- On Saturday, Russian drone strikes in the Brovary district of the Kyiv region killed four civilians, including two grandparents and their three-year-old grandson, while Ukraine struck the Ilsky Oil Refinery in Russia, injuring five people.
- Moscow continues to exploit Ukraine's critical shortage of interceptors for the US-made Patriot systems, its sole defense against ballistic missiles, as residents of the capital face regular drone and missile barrages.
- Ukraine's air force intercepted 135 of 151 drones launched by Russia overnight, though President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a separate strike involving six ballistic missiles hit civilian infrastructure in Kyiv, killing one additional person.
- Following the attacks, Zelenskyy appealed for more sanctions to "prevent the production of these ballistic missiles" and requested "anti-ballistic capabilities" and "interceptor missiles," while seeking permission to use Elon Musk's Starlink system to guide strikes.
- Zelenskyy arrived in Serbia hours before the attacks for his first official visit, where he plans to discuss economic ties and relations with the European Union with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Prime Minister Djuro Macut.
