Russia targets Kyiv with ballistic missiles as Ukraine strikes Saratov

Following the departure of United States envoys from Kyiv, overnight Russian ballistic missile strikes against the Ukrainian capital killed at least two people and injured six others, damaging local infrastructure. The barrage follows previous drone strikes on a British American Tobacco facility in northern Ukraine. In response, Ukrainian drone attacks hit Russia's Saratov region, causing several injuries.

Meanwhile, investigation reports indicate Russia has constructed 10 secret long-range drone launch sites near NATO borders. Certain locations are actively facilitating mass strikes on Ukrainian targets, while posing potential strategic threats to alliance territories. These developments coincide with recent United States-led NATO air and ground military maneuvers surrounding Russia's Kaliningrad enclave, which NATO officials characterized as routine efforts to enhance defense readiness.
