Russian missile and drone strikes killed at least three people, including a child, in overnight attacks near Kyiv. Ukraine's air defenses were unable to prevent all the strikes from hitting their targets.
Nightly strikes on Kyiv are now routine, but the casualty count and the fact that defenses couldn't stop them both matter. This suggests either Russian strike volume is increasing, Ukrainian air defenses are degrading, or both. Each attack that gets through is a small failure of the defensive system. Accumulated over months, that adds up to civilian casualties and infrastructure damage that compounds the longer the war lasts.
