Russian Missile Strike on Kyiv Kills Two, Damages Maternity Clinic

gmx.net (German) —

A Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv overnight killed at least two people and injured six others, with a maternity clinic damaged by debris. The strike triggered multiple explosions across the Ukrainian capital. Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported the casualties and damage, with military Telegram channels counting at least fourteen rockets in the first three waves. One person died in the clinic's parking lot, while a building in another district may have trapped people under rubble. The attack followed a day with eleven air alerts and came as President Zelenskyy, meeting US lawmakers, renewed demands for tougher sanctions and more interceptor missiles. Ukraine has faced Russian attacks for over four and a half years.
