Russian missile strikes on Ukraine's capital killed a woman and wounded at least a dozen others, Kyiv authorities said Wednesday, after the country's air force warned of incoming ballistic missiles. Meanwhile, France24 reported that at least 17 people died in the attack on Kyiv and its region, including eight at a railway station. Ukraine's air defence intercepted most drones but failed to stop a single Russian missile, according to the same report, which cited a crucial shortage of US-made ballistic interceptors. The conflicting casualty figures could not be immediately reconciled. Kyiv authorities confirmed only the death of the woman and the dozen wounded, while France24's higher toll suggests the attack was more devastating than initially reported. The strikes underscore the strain on Ukraine's air defence as it faces a shortage of Western-supplied interceptors.
