stuttgarter-nachrichten.de (German) —

Russia launched a ballistic missile attack on Kyiv late Tuesday evening, striking the Ukrainian capital and damaging residential buildings. At least one person was injured, with fears that people may remain trapped in the rubble. Air raid sirens sounded at 10:06 PM local time, with the Ukrainian air force reporting multiple incoming missiles just two minutes later. Explosions followed, and debris damaged homes and a gas station on the Dnipro River's eastern bank, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko. The attack followed overnight drone strikes on Kyiv and came amid a series of recent ballistic missile assaults. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has criticized delayed air raid warnings and a lack of advance intelligence from foreign allies during the ongoing Russian invasion.
