The attack comes just days after another Russian strike killed over 30 people in the Ukrainian capital
Russian forces fired missiles and drones into residential areas in Kyiv for the second time in a week, killing at least 26 people and wounding over 100, Ukrainian authorities said. This attack comes on the eve of a crucial NATO summit. According to Ukrainian officials, 18 people were killed in the capital, Kyiv, and eight in Vyshneve, a town just outside Kyiv. Russia fired 68 missiles and 351 attack drones, targeting what it described as military-industrial enterprises, fuel, and energy facilities in several Ukrainian regions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack, saying that Russia's tactics remain unchanged: to inflict as much pain and damage as possible on Ukrainians and Ukraine. Zelenskyy pleaded for NATO to boost Ukraine's air defense against Russia's ballistic missiles.
