The Day of the Missile Rain on Kiev

The day was dominated by a massive Russian missile and drone attack on Kiev, which Italian media framed as the largest since the war began. Coverage surged overnight and continued throughout the day, with outlets updating death tolls from 8 to 25 and emphasizing the strike on a hospital. La Stampa, Corriere della Sera, ANSA, and Sky TG24 led with the attack, while Zelensky's call for US-made Patriots and Kallas's threat of new sanctions were noted. In the afternoon, the Rai Vigilance commission collapsed as opposition members and president Floridia resigned, accusing the government of holding the oversight body hostage. The story was covered by Il Fatto Quotidiano, La Repubblica, and Il Sole 24 Ore. Evening coverage shifted to the World Cup, where Spain defeated Austria 3-0, and Wimbledon, where Berrettini, Sonego, and Cobolli advanced. Other stories included the Lefebvrian schism's formal excommunication, Mastella's illness plea, and the Monaco attacker identified as a Ukrainian woman.
