Russian Ballistic Missiles Strike Kyiv, Kill At Least 17
Russian ballistic missile strike on Kyiv kills at least 17
Russia launched a major attack on Ukraine's capital Kyiv with ballistic missiles and drones early Wednesday, killing at least 17 people and injuring 44 others, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky. The strike, among the deadliest on Kyiv this year, damaged residential buildings and warehouses across the city, triggering air raid alerts that lasted over an hour. Kyiv's military administration confirmed the "massive" nature of the assault. Ukraine has intensified requests to Western allies for additional U.S.-made Patriot air defense systems to counter Russian ballistic attacks. Russia's defense ministry claimed it targeted logistics hubs and supply centers involved in weapons storage and distribution, as well as unmanned aerial vehicle production facilities.
