Editors led with a massive overnight Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv, which killed nine and wounded over 30, with destruction across seven districts. The story dominated from late evening through the next morning, with casualty figures rising in real time. Air defenses intercepted only one of 27 ballistic missiles, prompting Zelensky to demand Patriot interceptors from partners.
By afternoon, attention shifted to Ukrainian strikes: naval drones sank a sanctioned Rosatom container ship in the Black Sea, and hits on three oil refineries were confirmed. A Russian drone strike on a Rozetka warehouse in Brovary killed one worker.
In the evening, an explosion at a Moscow restaurant reportedly targeting Russian generals drew coverage, alongside Zelensky's renewed appeals for air defense missiles and sanctions.
