Kyiv. Russian strikes killed 16 people and injured more than 40 in Kyiv and the surrounding region on Thursday as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said a failure by Ukraine's allies to replenish its stock of air defence missiles was costing lives.
Ukraine's air force said Russia launched dozens of ballistic, cruise and hypersonic missiles, as well as 168 drones, in the massive overnight attack.
While Ukraine downed nearly 90% of the drones and most of the cruise missiles, all of the faster ballistic missiles got through, causing significant damage.
