Russia struck Kyiv with ballistic missiles and drones early Thursday, killing two people and damaging a maternity hospital, Ukrainian officials said. One death occurred in the hospital's parking lot. The overnight barrage included hypersonic missiles, 282 drones, and other weapons, injuring eight people. President Zelenskiy said targets included civilian infrastructure, residential buildings, and energy facilities, with three waves of missiles and about 60% downed. Zelenskiy, in New York for the UN General Assembly, urged the US to provide ballistic interceptors, citing Ukraine's shortage. The attack followed a daytime drone strike that killed two and injured over 40.
