Loud explosions shook the Ukrainian capital, where more than 50,000 people sheltered in subway stations after authorities issued air raid warnings, the Kyiv Metro said. Emergency crews were digging through the rubble of collapsed and charred apartment buildings in search of victims.

Ukraine faced deadly missile and drone attacks from Russia, killing two and injuring 19. Kyiv is urging allies for more air defense munitions as it struggles to counter Russian ballistic missiles. Recent escalations have seen Ukraine targeting Russian logistics to weaken their military capabilities.
