Russian attacks kill 6 in Kyiv and other cities

Russia launched a large-scale attack on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities using ballistic missiles, drones, and guided bombs, killing at least 11 people and injuring dozens.

The assault highlighted Ukraine’s ongoing shortage of U.S.-made Patriot air defense systems needed to intercept Russian missiles.

Russia has increased missile attacks in response to Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil facilities.

President Donald Trump said he is open to allowing Ukraine to produce Patriot systems, though production could take years, the AP has reported.

The overnight attack included 41 missiles and 125 drones, causing widespread damage in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Kherson, and Sumy.
