Russian missile strike on Kyiv and US attacks on Iran dominate Sunday’s headlines

Russia launched one of the largest ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv since the war began, striking the capital and its suburbs and causing at least one death and 16 injuries, including two wounded in the Kharkiv region. Simultaneously, the United States carried out air strikes on Iran’s military infrastructure in retaliation for the killing of two U.S. soldiers in Jordan, prompting Iran to launch drone attacks on two U.S. bases in Kuwait, which were intercepted by Jordanian forces.

In the Czech Republic, severe thunderstorms hit South Moravia, bringing strong winds that felled trees, damaged a school roof and prompted warnings from the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute about possible impacts on energy, transport and agriculture. Czech Chamber of Deputies speaker Tomio Okamura departed for China to discuss a new direct flight, a possible visa‑free regime for Czech citizens, a terracotta‑army exhibition and the case of a detained Czech national.
