Ukraine successfully intercepts Russian missiles with Patriot air defense system.

Ukrainian officials denied Russia's claim of destroying one of Kyiv's Patriot air defense systems, stating that the system was still operational. A US defense official confirmed that the system had suffered an indirect hit but its radar was not damaged. The Patriot system is a complex weapon made up of numerous components, and its modules are often spread out to reduce the risk of losing such an expensive weapon. The locations of Ukraine's two Patriot systems are a closely kept secret. Six Kyiv residents are being prosecuted for sharing photos and videos of air defense operations during Tuesday morning's attack, potentially giving Moscow valuable targeting information.
