Russian missile attack on Kyiv: 9 dead and 23 injured

A new ballistic missile attack launched by Russia on Kyiv has resulted in the death of nine people and the injury of another 23, according to an updated toll announced by emergency services in Ukraine.

The attack caused fires and damage in five areas of the capital, including in Solomianski, where an apartment building was partially destroyed. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has requested military support, including Patriot systems, to counter Russian attacks.

However, American President Donald Trump has hesitated to authorize Ukraine to produce these systems, expressing his concerns about their use. Trump stated that the subject is still under discussion, leaving open the possibility of a future decision.

This situation highlights the difficulties Ukraine faces in defending itself against Russian attacks.
