Russian strikes target Kyiv region as Ukraine expands drone attacks on Russian logistics

Russian missile strikes across Ukraine have left at least 15 people dead, including 10 killed during a daytime attack on a defense technology exhibition near Kyiv. The strike on the venue, attended by military and industry officials, injured nearly 100 people. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy blamed "nothing but Russian terror" for the attack, while acknowledging such public events should not occur during wartime. Overnight bombardment also damaged a Kyiv residential building.

Concurrently, military intelligence reports indicate North Korea has resumed shipments of hundreds of KN-23 short-range ballistic missiles to Russia. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces expanded their long-range drone campaign, hitting several warehouses belonging to Russian e-commerce firm Wildberries near Moscow and in Kotovsk. The strikes sparked major fires, killed at least eight people, and destroyed extensive inventory.
