US reacts to Kyiv's claim it received no advance notice of Russian ballistic missile launches
In the Oct. 19 attack on Kyiv, at least one person was killed, and eight others were injured as Russian missiles struck Kyiv in multiple waves overnight.
On October 19, Russian forces targeted the Chernihivska metro station in Kyiv, causing extensive damage. Photos published by NV reveal the aftermath of the strike, showing destruction to the platform and surrounding structures. Reuters also released images depicting the impact of the attack on the station. Prior to the incident, Kyiv Metro reported that the extensive assault on Kyiv had inflicted damage on an aboveground metro station, tracks, and the cable network.
The transit operator stated that train service between Akademmistechko and Darnytsia stations would commence as planned that morning, while the Chernihivska and Lisova stations would be temporarily evacuated. A journalist from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Alex Raufoglu, reported that the United States had failed to issue a warning to Ukraine about Russia's use of ballistic missiles the previous night.
Ukrainian air defenses successfully intercepted four Iskander-K missiles and 243 drones, resulting in one fatality and eight injuries across three districts, including damage to an infrastructure project on Kyiv's Red Line on the left bank. The Solomianskyi district sustained damage to a 25-story building, a medical facility, and a Cosmo Multimall shopping center.
