Ten killed in Russian attack on drone exhibition near Kyiv

BBC World · 2 hours ago

Russian ballistic missile strikes hit a drone-technology exhibition near Kyiv, killing 10 people and injuring about 100, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Five more people were killed by Russian glide bombs in Sloviansk, while Ukraine’s overnight strikes killed six people in Russia’s Kirov region, underscoring the continuing escalation of long-range attacks on both sides.

Ukraine said three ballistic missiles were fired at the exhibition and only one was intercepted; Russia said it had targeted drone developers and security personnel involved in attacks on Russian territory. The event is reportedly the third such exhibition struck since Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion, prompting scrutiny over why it was publicly advertised and what security measures were used. Ukraine also attacked Wildberries warehouses, saying logistics sites may support Russian military supplies, as Zelensky prepares for an expected US visit and talks with President Donald Trump.

  • Russian missiles killed 10 at a drone exhibition near Kyiv.
  • Ukraine and Russia both launched deadly long-range attacks.
  • Kyiv faces questions over security at the advertised event.
