Russian Missile and Drone Barrage Kills 17 in Kyiv Region; Ukraine Retaliates with Drone Strikes on Russian Logistics

Russian missile and drone strikes on Kyiv and the surrounding region killed 17 people and wounded 44 others overnight into Wednesday, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The attack involved 24 ballistic missiles, four other missiles (hypersonic Zircons or supersonic Oniks), and 115 drones, primarily targeting civilian businesses, infrastructure, and a railway station. Ukraine's air defense was unable to intercept the ballistic missiles. In retaliation, Ukrainian drones hit a Wildberries warehouse in Russia's Tula region, and Ukrainian forces also struck several Russian military targets, including drone command posts and a logistics crossing, in occupied Ukraine and Russia's Kursk region.
