At least 17 people were killed and 44 injured after Russia launched ballistic missiles and drones on Kyiv in one of the capital's deadliest attacks this year. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said more Patriot missile interceptors from allies "could have saved lives" and blamed delays in air defence support for the heavy casualties. Ukraine said Russia fired 24 ballistic missiles and 115 drones, with air defences intercepting most drones but no ballistic missiles. Russia said it targeted military logistics hubs, supply centres and warehouses linked to Ukraine's defence operations. (PC: NDTV)
