A Russian missile attack on Kyiv killed at least 17 people, according to reports cited in the headline. The strike was described as a heavy barrage involving ballistic missiles, with residential and other urban areas affected. The reported casualties make it one of the deadliest recent attacks on the Ukrainian capital.
Reports said Ukraine’s air defenses did not intercept any of the Russian ballistic missiles involved in the overnight attack. The accounts linked the high casualties to depleted air-defense capabilities, while details about the full extent of the damage and the number of wounded were not provided.
At the same time, Ukraine carried out further strikes on warehouses connected with Wildberries, a major Russian online retailer. Reports described the facilities as part of logistics and storage networks, though the available information did not specify the precise locations or the scale of the damage.
