Russia struck Kyiv with various missile types, including ballistic missiles, early Tuesday. As of 6:00 AM, six people were reported injured, with three hospitalized and three treated on an outpatient basis, according to Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko. A fire broke out at an educational institution in the Holosiivskyi district, where people were reportedly trapped in a residential building. Fires were also recorded at non-residential sites in Podil and Darnytsia districts, including garages and vehicles, while a warehouse burned in Solomianskyi district after debris hit a five-story residential building and damaged a three-story one. Military intelligence warns Russia may launch 120 to 500 drones monthly in coming months, targeting energy infrastructure as cold weather approaches. Ukraine urgently needs Patriot interceptor missiles to counter ballistic attacks; Western partners have pledged to expedite the request but have not specified delivery timelines.
