Russian missile attack on Kyiv
The Guardian reports that Russian missiles struck Kyiv, with casualties mounting and residents sheltering in metro stations. Ukraine's military has reportedly run out of US Patriot missiles to repel ballistic attacks, according to the capital's mayor.
Why it matters
The reported depletion of Patriot missiles could affect Ukraine's air defense capabilities against Russian ballistic missile attacks, potentially increasing the threat to Kyiv and other cities.
What's unclear
- The exact number of casualties and extent of damage from the missile attack.
- Whether the reported shortage of Patriot missiles is confirmed by other sources or if alternative air defense systems are available.
