> Russia fired more than 30 missiles at Kyiv overnight in the second mass strike on the Ukrainian capital in under a week. A Nova Poshta postal depot was struck, producing a huge crater, killing three people and destroying more than 10,000 packages. Ukraine says its Patriot supplies are critically low, while uncertainty surrounding US licensing plans has left Kyiv exposed and anxious. The attack highlights the city’s worsening vulnerability to repeated Russian barrages.
