Russia Kills at Least 10 in Rare Daytime Ballistic Strike on Kyiv Defense Industry Event, as Fears Grow of Larger Attack to Come
Ukraine’s prosecutor general opened a criminal investigation after the strike killed an employee at a defense expo and rescue crews completed operations.
- On Friday, Russia launched a rare daytime ballistic missile strike on a private training ground in Kyiv Oblast, killing at least 10 people and injuring around 100 during a defense industry event.
- Although Russia has increased ballistic missile use against Kyiv in recent months, most attacks occur overnight, making Friday's daylight strike particularly unusual and dangerous.
- President Volodymyr Zelensky blamed "Russian terror" for deaths but criticized organizers for holding weapons exhibitions during wartime; Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko opened criminal investigations into potential negligence.
- Bucha suffered the heaviest damage with 27 private homes and 44 vehicles destroyed; the Kyiv region declared Saturday a day of mourning after rescue operations concluded.
- Because ballistic missiles descend on steep trajectories, Ukraine's air defenses struggle to intercept them; the country lacks enough US-made Patriot systems to protect every critical area.
