Russia launched a large-scale attack on the Ukrainian capital overnight and into Thursday, killing at least 13 people and injuring dozens. Attacks by ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones have damaged buildings and civilian infrastructure throughout the city.

In recent weeks, Russia has intensified its attacks on Kyiv, even though strikes by Ukraine’s own long-range drones on Russian military bases and energy facilities have caused fuel shortages and disrupted supply lines within Russia.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called on allies to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense capabilities after describing Kyiv’s experience as a “night of horror” and urging allies not to delay their decisions on providing air defense systems and missiles.
