Russian missile strike on Kyiv drone exhibition kills ten people
A Russian ballistic missile strike on a defense exhibition near Kyiv has killed 10 people and wounded nearly 100, as political tensions linger in Ukraine's capital.
A Russian ballistic missile strike on a military technology exhibition near Kyiv killed at least 10 people and wounded approximately 100 others, according to Ukrainian officials. President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack while acknowledging that the public defense showcase should not have taken place. Emergency workers searched through rubble near residential homes following the strike, which hit an event attended by defense sector representatives.
The strike occurred alongside broader Russian attacks across the country, including a drone strike on a Sumy post office that left two dead. Concurrently, political fallout continues in Kyiv following President Zelensky's decision to replace his defense minister during a recent government reshuffle.
