Russian missile and drone barrage on Kyiv kills at least nine people
NPR and ABC News both report that Russia launched a barrage of ballistic missiles and drones at Kyiv, killing at least nine people. NPR's report additionally frames the attack alongside commentary on the Trump administration reportedly walking back a promised boost to Ukraine's missile defense systems, while ABC's report focuses more narrowly on the attack's toll and scope.
Russia launched a barrage of ballistic missiles and drones into the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv overnight, striking multiple districts of the city before dawn on a Saturday. The attack killed at least nine people, with ABC News reporting at least 22 additional people injured. NPR's report noted that the attack occurred as President Trump was reportedly walking back a previously promised increase in missile defense support for Ukraine, though this claim was not independently corroborated by the other report in this set.
