Russia strikes Kyiv with ballistic missiles, killing one

ruhrnachrichten.de (German) —

Russia attacked Kyiv with ballistic missiles overnight, causing multiple explosions and forcing residents to seek shelter. Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported one person killed and two injured, with rescue teams deployed. The attack followed a day of eleven air alerts, with jet-powered drones also striking the city. Kyiv lacks sufficient ammunition to intercept ballistic missiles, and local media reported multiple fires across the city. On Wednesday, two people were killed and 45 injured in Kyiv, according to Klitschko. Russia has waged a brutal war against Ukraine for over four and a half years, with Kyiv defending itself through Western support.
