Multiple outlets report that Russia carries out a ballistic missile strike on Ukraine that kills 17 people and damages or destroys warehouses used for logistics and storage. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky says the attack highlights the impact of limited Ukrainian missile defences and warns that shortages in interceptors continue to cost lives. Zelensky calls on Ukraine’s foreign allies to replenish supplies of interceptors, including those used with systems such as the Patriot, describing an ongoing shortage of defence missiles. The reports also state that the strike targets infrastructure linked to logistics, with warehouses reportedly destroyed as a result of the attack. While the accounts emphasize the casualty figure and the damage to storage and logistics facilities, they also consistently frame Zelensky’s message to allies around the immediate need for more air-defence interceptors to help protect against similar ballistic attacks. The coverage does not provide additional verified details about the specific location of the strike in the excerpts provided.
