'Massive' Russian missile strike on Kyiv kills at least 12 people, Zelenskyy says

A massive Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv killed at least 15 people and injured over 40 others on Wednesday night, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The Ukrainian air force intercepted 186 missiles and drones during the assault, which targeted residential buildings, a children's hospital, and schools.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported damage in several city areas, including fires at warehouses and residential buildings. Russian officials claimed the attack targeted military industrial enterprises, a transport and logistics hub, and warehouses, while Ukrainian sources stated that the main direction of the attack was the Kyiv region.

Ukrainian officials have warned that the country's stocks of anti-missile interceptor munitions are dangerously low and may be exhausted. Zelenskyy appealed to foreign partners for more ammunition and stressed the need for sufficient anti-ballistic defenses to prevent further attacks.
