A Russian overnight missile and drone attack on Kyiv killed at least nine people and injured 33, damaging residential buildings in the Ukrainian capital. The assault underlines Ukraine’s difficulty protecting civilians from ballistic missiles as it seeks further US-made air-defence support.

Ukrainian officials said Russia launched 358 aerial weapons, including 27 ballistic missiles; President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said only one ballistic missile was intercepted. Russia said it had targeted military-industrial and logistics facilities, while Ukrainian authorities reported civilian casualties and damage, including in the Solomianskyi district.
