"Devastating Overnight Attack on Kyiv: Ballistic Missiles Injure Dozens, Russia Accused"

Russia launched a barrage of hypersonic ballistic missiles at Kyiv, Ukraine, causing injuries and damage throughout the capital. The attack followed a major cyberattack that disrupted mobile phone and internet services. Ukraine's air force claimed to have shot down all 10 missiles, but this could not be independently confirmed. The strikes confirmed the White House's assessment that Russia remains intent on conquering Ukraine. Russian forces currently occupy about one-fifth of Ukraine's territory. Ukraine faces challenges as it seeks military and economic assistance, with some Republicans blocking President Biden's push for additional aid. Ukrainian President Zelensky expressed gratitude for Norway's support and emphasized the importance of strengthening air defense. This marks the second time in recent days that Moscow has used ballistic missiles against Kyiv, possibly indicating a change in strategy.
