7 explosions in 3 minutes: Russian ballistic missiles hit Kyiv as Zelensky demands more air defence

Kyiv has come under another Russian missile attack, with explosions reported across the Ukrainian capital as the war intensifies. Ukrainian officials said the strikes damaged residential buildings, medical facilities, educational institutions and transport infrastructure, with casualties reported. President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged Ukraine’s Western allies to accelerate deliveries of air defence systems and interceptor missiles, warning that delays are leaving the country vulnerable to further attacks. The strikes come amid growing concerns over Ukraine’s ability to intercept Russian ballistic missiles and ongoing tensions surrounding US support for Kyiv. Can Ukraine’s allies replenish its air defences before Russia launches another major barrage?
