In massive Russian assaults on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, at least twelve people have been killed, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko. Civil defense reported 34 injuries. The attacks focused on various areas of the city, with a children’s hospital also reportedly being damaged.

Russia has increasingly deployed ballistic missiles in these airstrikes. These attacks come at a time when Ukraine continues to struggle with a shortage of air defense missiles, significantly hampering the defense against the air raids.
