At least 17 killed in Russian missile strikes on Kyiv region

Overnight Russian missile strikes on the Kyiv region killed at least 17 people and injured dozens, according to Ukrainian authorities. Air defense systems failed to intercept incoming missiles during an air raid alert lasting over an hour, leaving seven locations damaged, including residential areas and warehouses.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky renewed calls for Western allies to supply ballistic missile interceptors, stating they "could have saved lives." While Moscow claimed its forces targeted military installations, Kyiv accused Russia of striking civilian infrastructure. Casualty counts initially reported 14 dead before rising to 17.

Separately, Portuguese drone manufacturer Tekever addressed Russian state media reports regarding the alleged capture of one of its unmanned aerial vehicles in Ukraine. Tekever declined to comment on client operations, emphasizing that its technology continuously evolves to mitigate operational risks.
