Overview
- A large coordinated attack that began Monday night and continued into Tuesday used ballistic, cruise, anti‑radar missiles and roughly 218 attack drones to strike Kyiv and Odesa regions and other sites across Ukraine.
- Ukrainian officials reported roughly 11–12 dead in the capital region and surrounding areas, with several sources saying about a dozen people were killed and dozens more wounded.
- A ballistic missile hit a Kyiv railway depot and nearby Ukrzaliznytsia facilities, killing multiple railway employees and severely damaging workshops and tracks that disrupted logistics.
- Ukraine’s air defenses said they shot down or suppressed about 199 targets, including five ballistic missiles and nearly 187 drones, but commanders warned they face critical shortages of interceptor missiles for systems such as Patriot.
- The strikes damaged civilian and export infrastructure including a Danube ferry crossing at Orlivka and prompted NATO air policing alerts and international discussions on accelerating air‑defense deliveries to Kyiv.
