Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned of imminent missile strikes after a Russian attack near Kyiv killed ten people and injured nearly 100.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned of imminent Russian missile strikes within 48 hours, following recent aerial attacks across the country.

A Russian ballistic missile strike in the Kyiv region killed at least ten people and injured nearly 100. Ukrainian officials gave conflicting accounts regarding the site, with a military spokesperson stating a private sports complex was hit, while a defense industry founder reported the missile struck a training ground hosting a drone fair. Separately, Russian glide bomb strikes on Zaporizhzhia injured at least 25 people, damaging homes and a medical center.

Meanwhile, Zelenskyy announced plans to build a US facility using Ukrainian technology to manufacture drones, though Washington officials noted terms remain under negotiation.
