RUSSIA-UKR — Russia unleashes major ballistic missile barrage on Kyiv, damaging civilian sites

Russia launched one of the largest ballistic missile attacks of the war against Ukraine, firing 41 missiles at Kyiv and other cities. The overnight assault killed at least one person and wounded 16 in the capital, damaging residential buildings, a supermarket, and warehouses. Ukrainian air defense intercepted 18 of the missiles, but the attack underscores Kyiv's critical shortage of air defense systems as it seeks to begin domestic production of Patriot interceptors by year-end.
