Russia strikes Kyiv with ballistic missiles in overnight attack

Russia launched a new ballistic missile attack on Kyiv overnight, causing multiple explosions and forcing residents to seek shelter. Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed one person was killed and two injured, with rescue teams deployed. The attack began after air raid sirens sounded, with military Telegram channels counting at least fourteen missiles in the first three waves. A house was damaged in one district, possibly trapping people under rubble, and local media reported several fires across the city. The strike followed a day with eleven air raid alerts, including jet-powered drones that Ukrainian air defense struggles to counter. Kyiv also lacks ammunition for intercepting ballistic missiles. Russia has waged its brutal war for over four and a half years.
