Russia carried out missile attacks near Kyiv during the night, killing a child and two other civilians, according to BBC News. The strikes are part of a broader campaign of overnight attacks as the war in Ukraine continues to intensify.
The BBC reported that the attacks were launched after President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Ukraine’s supplies of missile interceptors were running low, a concern that could limit the country’s defensive capabilities. Al Jazeera corroborated the casualty figures, noting that the child was one of three fatalities. No specific missile type, time of the strike, or exact location was provided in the available reports.
The incident occurs amid ongoing Russian missile operations targeting Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, with Ukraine struggling to replenish its air‑defence arsenal as the war drags on.
