Kyiv. Russia launched a heavy missile and drone attack on Kyiv and surrounding areas early on Saturday, killing at least 10 people, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy warned that his country had exhausted interceptor missiles for its US-made Patriot air defence systems.
Mr Zelenskiy said Russia fired 35 missiles, including 27 ballistic missiles, and 185 drones during the attack. Only one ballistic missile was intercepted, he said, because Ukraine had run out of Patriot interceptors.
“Every package of ballistic missile interceptors saves the lives of our people. And every night without them results in more casualties,” he said in a message on Telegram.
