Russian ballistic missiles

Ukraine's air defenses are a critical weakness against Russian ballistic missiles, with a shortage of U.S.-made Patriot missiles hindering effective defense.

A Kyiv court ordered 60 days of pretrial detention for Vasyl Honcharuk, the organizer of a defense exhibition struck by Russian ballistic missiles on July 24, resulting in 11 deaths and dozens injured.

Russian attacks in Ukraine killed two people and wounded civilians in Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia, while Ukrainian drones struck a Russian-held area in Donetsk, killing four civilians. Russian forces claimed to have downed 133 Ukrainian drones over Russia, the Black Sea, and Crimea.

Russian ballistic missiles struck Kyiv, causing fires and injuring at least three civilians. Two people were killed in Ukraine from Russian attacks, and four others were reported dead in a Russian-held area after being hit by Ukrainian drones.

Russian strikes in Ukraine killed 21 people, with the aftermath highlighting Kyiv's urgent need for American-made Patriot interceptors to counter Russian ballistic missiles.

Russia launched a deadly attack in Ukraine, with at least two dozen Russian ballistic missiles striking Kyiv despite air defenses. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged NATO for air defense assistance following the attack.

The Ukrainian capital Kyiv was attacked by Russian ballistic missiles, resulting in several deaths and damage to at least one building. This follows a large-scale attack on Kyiv last Thursday.
