Russian strikes near Kyiv kill three, including a child
Russian missile attacks on areas around Kyiv killed three people, as Ukraine seeks more air defence interceptors and Washington moves on new sanctions.
Russian missile strikes on areas near Kyiv killed three people, including a child, in overnight attacks on Saturday, according to Ukrainian officials. The assaults hit communities around the capital as the war continued despite repeated calls for stronger air defences.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine’s stock of missile interceptors is running low and has urged allies to provide more equipment. The latest attacks came as Kyiv pressed for additional air defence support to counter Russia’s continuing bombardment.
In Washington, the US Senate approved a new package of sanctions targeting Russia, adding fresh pressure on Moscow over the war. The move came as Ukraine and its partners sought to blunt the impact of Russian missile and drone strikes.
The strikes near Kyiv were the latest in a series of attacks on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022.
