Russian missile attack on Kyiv kills 1 and exposes holes in air defenses

KYIV, Ukraine — Russia attacked Kyiv overnight with ballistic missiles and other weapons, killing one and wounding 16 people, local authorities said, again highlighting Ukraine’s shortage of U.S.-made Patriot air defense systems.

U.S. President Donald Trump has said he is prepared to grant Ukraine licenses to produce Patriots, the most effective means of intercepting Russian ballistic missiles, potentially bolstering Kyiv’s defenses against similar Russian strikes. However, the details and timeline for implementing the decision remain unclear.
