WHAT RUSSIAN MISSILE ATTACKS MEAN: Ukraine claims its Western-supplied air defenses shot down 15 of 18 “winged missiles” launched by Russia today, preventing any of them from hitting the capital Kyiv, according to the Ukrainian General Staff.
The Monday attack followed a similar strike on Friday, in which more than 20 cruise missiles and two drones targeted Kyiv and surrounding areas, with the only direct hit landing on an apartment building 135 miles to the south, killing 21 people, including four children, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who said Ukraine shot down 21 out of 23 incoming missiles.
