At least 3 people, including a child, were killed and 3 others injured in overnight Russian missile strikes near Kyiv, Ukrainian officials said. Ballistic missiles hit areas east of the capital, causing fires and damage. The attack comes days after another Russian strike killed 21 people. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has again appealed for more US-made Patriot interceptor missiles, saying Ukraine’s supplies have fallen significantly. He warned that Kyiv lacks the financial resources Russia uses to sustain the war. Meanwhile, Ukraine has continued drone strikes against Russian oil facilities, while concerns grow over the conflict spreading into neighbouring countries. (PC: BBC)
