Russian missile and drone strikes on Ukraine’s Kyiv and surrounding region kill at least 15 people and wound dozens overnight, according to Ukrainian authorities, as part of a continuing wave of long-range attacks. Both outlets report explosions in Kyiv after midnight following air-raid warnings about incoming ballistic threats. The attacks come as Russia continues to use ballistic missiles more than four years after it launched its full-scale invasion. In recent months, Kyiv has urged allies to provide more US-made Patriot air-defence interceptors, citing the increasing use of ballistic missiles. The reports describe the attacks as an “overnight barrage” and “expanding” strikes affecting the capital area. Authorities assess damage and casualties, while details on specific locations struck and the exact mix of weapons used are described generally as missile and drone activity. No additional information on responsibility for the attacks beyond the Russian launches is provided in the excerpts.
