Ukraine's Air Force reported a critical shortage of interceptor missiles, stating that none of the 23 ballistic missiles launched by Russia at Kyiv on Sunday night were intercepted. The attack left a large hole in a residential building in the capital, with one survivor describing the experience as "terrifying."
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Russia would continue targeting residential buildings as long as defensive Patriot missiles remained in allied stockpiles rather than being deployed in Ukraine. The strikes resulted in at least 13 deaths in the capital and six more in the wider Kyiv region, marking the second large-scale Russian assault on the Ukrainian capital in a week.
