Russia Struck Kyiv With Ballistic Missiles in What Appears to Have Been a Double Tap Attack

Russian forces launched ballistic missiles at Ukraine’s capital. Local authorities reported hits in several districts of the city, including strikes on non-residential civilian sites and debris falling into residential areas. Fires broke out at multiple locations.

Seven people were injured in the attack, and a 12-year-old child was killed.

Officials also reported a double tap: missiles hit the same location twice with a time gap, when emergency services were already on site. Such strikes are typically intended to cause maximum casualties. Four medics working at the scene were injured in the second strike.
