Russian strike on Kyiv and nearby region kills at least 15
An overnight Russian attack on Ukraine left at least 15 people dead in Kyiv and the surrounding region, as officials again pressed for more air defences.
A Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv and nearby areas overnight killed at least 15 people, according to Ukrainian officials. The strike hit the capital and surrounding region as Russia continued its long-running assault on Ukraine.
Kyiv has recently urged its allies to send more US-made Patriot interceptors, saying Russia is using ballistic missiles more often in the war. The request comes more than four years after Moscow launched its full-scale invasion.
The latest barrage adds to the pressure on Ukraine’s air defences as Russian attacks continue to target cities and infrastructure. Officials have said the need for additional interceptors has grown as the missile threat has intensified.
