Russia Targets Kyiv with Ballistic Missiles and Jet-Powered Drones

Russia launched ballistic missiles and jet-powered drones at Kyiv and other regions, damaging residential buildings, civilian infrastructure, and port facilities in Odesa.

The deployment of new jet-powered drones has challenged Ukrainian ground-based air defenses due to their high speed and altitude.

Ukrainian officials reported that air defense forces shot down two ballistic missiles overnight amidst low stockpiles of US-made Patriot interceptors.
