Ukraine Downs Only 1 Ballistic Missile During Massive Attack on Kyiv

A massive Russian attack on Kyiv involving 35 missiles and 185 drones caused nine deaths and 30 injuries, with Ukrainian air defenses downing only one ballistic missile due to a shortage of Patriot interceptors. The strikes damaged 18 residential buildings, educational facilities, and the Lithuanian embassy across seven districts, while similar attacks targeted multiple regions. President Volodymyr Zelensky called for expedited international air defense deliveries to reduce casualties.
