> Russian missiles struck Kyiv overnight, killing at least 17 people and setting several buildings ablaze. A lorry driver in Chaiky escaped after explosions ignited his vehicle. Ukraine said it could not intercept any of the missiles launched by Russia. As the attacks intensify, Kyiv is renewing its calls for US-made Patriot air defence systems. Volodymyr Zelenskyy also urged stronger air defences after the deadly strike.
