  "summary": "At least 17 people were killed in a Russian missile attack on Kyiv. Ukraine is running low on interceptor missiles to defend against Russian bombardments.\n\nRussia has been using more ballistic missiles, which are hard to shoot down, and has fired scores of North Korean ballistic missiles at Ukraine since late 2023. According to Ukraine's Main Directorate of Intelligence, Russia is planning to base a North Korean missile unit in the western Russian region of Voronezh.\n\nThe unit, consisting of around 90 North Korean personnel, could be equipped with 120 ballistic missiles and six launchers for strikes against Ukraine, an official at Ukraine's military intelligence agency said.",
