Russia launched a prolonged overnight missile and drone attack on Kyiv, killing one person and injuring 16. The barrage deepened pressure on the capital as Ukraine grapples with strained Patriot air defences.

Russia's attack triggered a series of heavy explosions across the city, with Ukraine’s air force stating that 41 missiles of different types were used in the strike. Several areas were damaged, with fires breaking out across multiple locations.

US President Donald Trump has said he is prepared to grant Ukraine licenses to produce Patriots, the most effective means of intercepting Russian ballistic missiles, potentially bolstering Kyiv's defences against similar Russian strikes.
