In Kyiv, Ukraine, a Russian attack involving ballistic missiles and drones resulted in at least three deaths and over a dozen injuries. The assault damaged a five-story residential building in the Solomianskyi District, where people are believed to be trapped, and caused fires in other parts of the city. This attack follows a recent large-scale strike across Ukraine that killed 10 civilians and injured more than 50. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is urging for more Patriot missile defense systems from the U.S. and allies to protect against such attacks. He discussed this need with U.S. Vice President JD Vance after a meeting with President Donald Trump, who has not yet decided on providing Ukraine with a license to produce these systems.
