Summary

Russian forces and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Russia launched ballistic missiles at Kyiv overnight, with Zelenskyy reporting 21 missiles in three waves striking the historic district and other areas, killing 4 people and injuring 34. The Russian military claimed to have intercepted over 800 Ukrainian drones aimed at Moscow and other cities, resulting in 2 injuries in Russia. However, U.S. Secretary of State Marc Rubio and senior Defense Department officials denied the attack occurred, and the U.S. Air Force did not confirm it. Zelenskyy said the missiles carried cluster warheads and targeted civilian infrastructure including homes, religious sites, shops, and energy facilities. Firefighters were seen attempting to extinguish fires in central Kyiv following the reported missile strike.
