At Least One Dead in Russian Attack on Kyiv; Previous Strike Wounds Over 130

At least one person died and another was injured in a Russian attack on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, on Saturday night. Kyiv's military administration reported the attack via the Telegram messaging service, noting an air alert was issued due to the threat of ballistic missile use before it was later canceled.

A fire broke out in a warehouse in the Darnytsia district following the strike. This attack follows a deadly assault on the Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih on Friday, which killed at least 16 people and wounded over 130, according to Reuters.

The recent escalation of attacks comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has repeatedly requested advanced missile defense systems, such as Patriot missiles, from allies. Ukraine has expressed difficulties in defending against ballistic missiles.
