Russia Launches Ballistic Missile Attack on Kyiv, Ukraine Claims Intercept Success
Russia launched eight ballistic missiles at Kyiv, Ukraine, but all of them were intercepted by Ukraine's Air Force. The attack caused one injury and severe stress reactions among three individuals. The capital city experienced loud explosions and air raid sirens, with debris falling in some areas and windows damaged by the explosive wave. The attack also resulted in power outages for 120 households. This comes as the U.K. defense ministry predicts a more concerted campaign by Russia to degrade Ukraine's energy infrastructure. President Zelenskyy was in Argentina during the attack, where he attended the swearing-in of the country's new president and sought support for Ukraine's fight against Russia. He also had conversations with Hungarian leader Viktor Orban and plans to meet with President Biden in Washington.
