> Russian missile attacks continued overnight near Kyiv, killing three people, including a child. President Volodymyr Zelensky had warned that Ukraine’s supplies of missile interceptors were dwindling. The continuing strikes come as Ukraine faces declining stocks of equipment used to intercept incoming missiles. The attacks therefore coincide with growing pressure on the country’s air-defence resources.
