Russian missile strike kills 17 in Kyiv region

Russian overnight attacks on the Kyiv region used 24 ballistic missiles, four hypersonic missiles and 115 drones, killing at least 17 people and wounding 44. The strikes hit civilian infrastructure, including warehouses, a train station and logistics centres. Ukrainian air‑defence forces shot down 98 of the drones but intercepted none of the missiles, exposing a critical shortage of interceptors. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the lack of ballistic‑missile defence contributed to the heavy casualties, and regional governor Tymur Tkachenko declared a day of mourning for the victims.

The attack, the third major strike on the capital in a week, underscored ongoing gaps in Ukraine’s air‑defence capabilities and prompted calls for faster delivery of Patriot and other interceptor systems.
