Russian missiles and drones killed at least 17 people in Kyiv and surrounding regions. Ukraine's air defenses failed to intercept a single ballistic missile in the attack—they shot down only drones and cruise missiles, letting every ballistic missile through.
This represents a significant gap in Ukraine's defensive capability. Ballistic missiles are among the most destructive weapons Russia can deploy, and if air defenses can't stop them, civilian casualties will continue rising. The failure to intercept any ballistic missiles in this attack suggests either Ukraine is running low on the specific missiles needed to counter them or Russian tactics have found a way around current defenses.
