Russian missiles strike Kyiv killing one, wounding 13
The barrage used 41 missiles and 125 drones, officials said, as Ukraine pressed allies for more Patriot air defence interceptors.
- Russian forces launched an exceptionally heavy barrage of approximately 40 ballistic and hypersonic missiles at Kyiv overnight, targeting the capital in a rapid assault that lasted less than an hour.
- The heavy bombardment resulted in the death of an elderly woman and left at least 13 other residents injured across multiple city sectors as emergency crews rushed to handle the aftermath.
- Severe fires broke out in six distinct city districts, engulfing residential structures, a dormitory, office complexes, a supermarket, and dozens of parked vehicles.
- The intense blast waves caused the ceiling of the above-ground entrance vestibule at the Lukyanivska metro station to collapse, forcing a temporary closure of the transit hub.
- Ukrainian officials emphasized that the devastating raid underscores a critical and growing shortage of Western-supplied Patriot air defense interceptors needed to protect the capital's skies.
