Kyiv was struck by Russian ballistic missiles overnight, killing two people and injuring six others, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko.

A maternity clinic was damaged by rocket debris, with one person killed in its parking lot, while another district saw a house hit with possible people trapped. Local media reported several fires across the city. The attack followed a day with eleven air raid alerts, as Ukraine lacks munitions to intercept ballistic missiles. President Zelenskyy condemned strikes on civilian infrastructure and renewed calls for more interceptor missiles and tougher sanctions against Russia.
