Summary

Russian military and Ukrainian officials including President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Russia launched ballistic missiles at Kyiv on October 22, with Zelensky reporting 21 missiles in three waves. Ukrainian sources said the strikes damaged residential buildings, energy infrastructure, the metro, shopping centers, and other facilities, with 2 deaths and 30 injured reported. Zelensky claimed three missiles carried cluster warheads and targeted the historic district deliberately to maximize civilian casualties. The Russian military asserted it intercepted over 800 Ukrainian drones. However, the U.S. Secretary of State Marc Rubio and senior Defense Department officials denied the attack occurred, and the Air Force did not confirm it. Firefighters were seen attempting to extinguish a fire after a reported missile attack in central Kyiv.
