Russia Resumes Missile Attacks on Kyiv, Injuring 13 Amidst U.S. Support Reaffirmation

Kyiv's air defenses intercept all 31 missiles in the first major assault in over a month, as the U.S. pledges continued aid to Ukraine.

Russia launched a significant missile attack on Kyiv, wounding at least 13 people and causing extensive damage to residential and industrial areas.
Air defenses in Kyiv successfully intercepted all 31 Russian missiles targeting the capital, marking the first large-scale assault on the city in 44 days.
The attack coincided with a visit by White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, who reaffirmed U.S. support for Ukraine amidst ongoing aid delays.
