Russia launches 21 ballistic missiles at Kyiv in three waves, killing at least two

Russia launched 21 ballistic missiles at Kyiv in three waves overnight, killing at least two people and damaging residential and commercial buildings. The attack follows a new round of US diplomatic efforts. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the strikes show Moscow has not changed its stance on the war, despite renewed diplomatic talks. Russia's Defense Ministry claimed it targeted military facilities, transport infrastructure, and defense industry enterprises, including the Antonov aircraft plant and a southern bridge. Russian forces also struck port infrastructure in the Odesa region, claiming a cargo ship heading to Chornomorsk with military supplies was hit at sea. Moscow says it hit military and transport targets, while Kyiv reports civilian casualties and damage.
