Russian missile strike kills 10 at Ukrainian defence event
The strike hit a defense industry event site and prompted a war crimes probe as Ukraine seeks more Patriot interceptors, officials said.
- A Russian ballistic missile strike hit a defence industry event in the Kyiv region, killing at least 10 people and injuring nearly 100 others.
- The attack targeted a privately operated military training ground near the capital that was hosting a defense technology exhibition and demo day organized by an association of drone manufacturers.
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy strongly criticized the decision to hold the gathering, stating that while the strike was an act of Russian terror, holding large weapons exhibitions during wartime—especially near residential areas—is "absolutely unacceptable".
- Ukrainian prosecutors opened a dual investigation, launching a war crimes inquiry into the Russian attack alongside a criminal investigation into potential official negligence regarding who approved the timing, location, and security of the public event.
- The strike occurred just a day after Zelenskyy met with US defence representatives to discuss Patriot air defence systems, underscoring Ukraine's urgent calls for additional anti-missile interceptors to protect critical infrastructure and civilian areas.
