Overview
- Ukraine reported a large combined missile and drone assault that targeted Kyiv in a fresh wave of strikes, with its military saying roughly 68 missiles and 351 attack drones were launched during the main attack on Monday.
- Ukrainian officials said none of the heavy ballistic or hypersonic missiles were intercepted because of a shortage of Patriot interceptor rounds, a gap they say allowed strikes to hit residential areas and critical infrastructure.
- The strikes killed and injured dozens in Kyiv and surrounding districts, damaged apartment blocks and warehouses, and triggered fires while rescue teams searched rubble for survivors.
- Kyiv responded with intensified long‑range drone and missile strikes into Russia, including an attack on the Omsk oil refinery and large drone waves toward Moscow and Belgorod that Moscow says were largely shot down.
- The barrage has pushed air defence to the top of the NATO summit agenda in Ankara, with Zelensky pressing allies for immediate Patriot deliveries, licence production, and faster arms support as leaders prepare meetings on the sidelines.
