abendzeitung-muenchen.de (German) —

Russia struck Kyiv with ballistic missiles overnight, causing multiple explosions and triggering air raid alerts. One person was killed and two injured, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko. Rescue teams were deployed across several districts, with one house damaged and possible people trapped under debris. Local media reported multiple fires. The attack followed a day with eleven air raid alerts. Ukraine lacks sufficient ammunition to intercept ballistic missiles and has limited defenses against fast jet-powered drones. The strike came after two deaths and 45 injuries in Kyiv on Wednesday, amid Russia's ongoing war.
