Caption: Russian Strikes On Kyiv Kill At Least 13 Amid Air Defence Shortage. At least 13 people have been killed and 40 injured in Russian strikes on Kyiv, according to Ukraine's prime minister. Apartment buildings and warehouses were hit overnight, while a children's hospital and a school were also damaged. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky blamed the deaths on a shortage of air defence missiles supplied by Western allies. Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko said the country was "absolutely unprotected" from ballistic missile attacks without additional interceptors. Ukraine’s Air Force indicated that none of the Russian ballistic missiles launched overnight were intercepted. Russia launched 168 drones and 44 missiles, while Ukraine said it intercepted 146 drones and 39 cruise missiles. The attacks cut electricity to thousands of properties, leaving parts of the Kyiv region without power. Zelensky renewed his appeal for Patriot interceptors, warning that Russia would not seriously consider peace while Ukraine lacked sufficient anti-ballistic defences.
