CBS News world

Key Points:

  • Four people, including a child, were killed in Russian drone and missile attacks on Kyiv and its surrounding region, with a family home in Brovary district destroyed and multiple family members hospitalized.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported at least one additional death in Kyiv due to a strike involving six ballistic missiles targeting civilian infrastructure.
  • Ukraine's air force intercepted 135 of 151 drones launched by Russia overnight, though Moscow continues to target civilian areas despite claims of focusing on military sites.
  • Kyiv's air defenses are strained due to a shortage of interceptor missiles, particularly for the U.S.-made Patriot systems, prompting Zelenskyy to urgently request more ammunition and explore domestic production or alternative guidance methods.
  • Zelenskyy called for increased international sanctions to halt the production of ballistic missiles and enhance Ukraine's anti-ballistic missile capabilities amid ongoing Russian attacks.
