> Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he could not confirm reports that Ukraine received no advance warning before Russia's Oct. 19 ballistic missile attack on Kyiv, citing insufficient information. The attack killed at least one person and injured eight. Ukrainian officials said partners gave no warning before the first wave, but provided information ahead of the second.
