In a significant escalation of hostilities, Russia launched a massive missile attack on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, early Monday. The assault involved a combination of drones, cruise, and ballistic missiles, causing several explosions across the city and sending residents scrambling for bomb shelters. Ukraine's air defense units reportedly destroyed more than 10 cruise missiles and nearly 10 ballistic missiles, but falling debris from the downed weapons injured at least two people, ignited fires, and damaged homes and infrastructure. The attack also prompted air raid alerts across Ukraine and led neighboring NATO member Poland to activate its and allied aircraft to protect its airspace. This major aerial assault marks a severe intensification in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
