Russia struck Kyiv and Boryspil, its main airport hub, twice in 24 hours with ballistic missiles, killing civilians. A strike in the Boryspil district killed two and injured five or eight, according to varying reports. The attacks come days before Ukraine's Independence Day on August 24.
Why it matters
The strikes target Kyiv and its main airport hub, disrupting civilian life and infrastructure, and occur as Germany's foreign minister visits in a show of solidarity. The attacks highlight the ongoing threat to Ukrainian cities and the need for air defense systems.
