Overnight Russian missile strikes on Kyiv kill nine, damage Lithuanian embassy
At least nine people were killed in overnight Russian ballistic missile strikes on Kyiv, which also damaged Lithuania's embassy.
At least nine people, including four children, were killed and up to 29 others injured following overnight Russian ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv. Ukrainian emergency services and municipal officials reported fires and structural damage across at least five city districts.
Falling debris damaged a residential building in the Solomjanskyi district, trapping residents inside. Authorities reiterated that Ukrainian air defense forces possess limited capability to intercept incoming ballistic missiles. Lithuania's Ministry of Foreign Affairs also confirmed that its embassy in Kyiv sustained damage during the bombardment, though no embassy casualties were reported.
