Russia launches missile and drone attacks on Ukraine on Saturday, killing two people and wounding 19 others, according to officials cited by multiple outlets. The attacks involve both ballistic and cruise missiles as well as drones, with damage and casualties reported across affected areas. Eleven of the wounded are reported in Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital.
Ukrainian authorities say the strikes occur as Kyiv awaits additional air-defence supplies from partners. Sources note that a shortage of air defence munitions has left Ukrainian forces exposed to repeated Russian attacks. In response, President Volodymyr Zelensky urges allies to accelerate delivery of air-defence packages that were pledged at a NATO summit, pressing for faster provision of the equipment needed to counter missile and drone raids.
The reports consistently describe the same overall casualty figures and the role of missiles and drones, while highlighting Ukraine’s call for more and quicker air-defence deliveries in the context of the ongoing conflict.
