TL;DR Summary

Russian forces launched a daytime missile attack on Kyiv, using short-range Iskander ballistic missiles, after a series of night-time attacks involving Iranian-made Shahed drones and cruise missiles. The Ukrainian military intercepted all the ballistic missiles fired at the city, but one person was injured. The attack appears to be an effort to exhaust Ukraine's air defences. Ukrainian officials have flagged concerns that their anti-aircraft defences from the Soviet era were running out of ammunition and that western systems such as the US Patriot were not arriving in sufficient quantities to fill the gap.
