Russia strikes Kyiv with five ballistic missiles on civilian infrastructure

Russia fired five ballistic missiles at Kyiv on Tuesday, hitting civilian buildings and a major power plant. Ukraine's air defence systems only detected the missiles when they were already close to the city. President Zelenskyy said Western partners gave Ukraine no early warning before the attack. He stressed that advance warnings save civilian lives. Four people died in separate strikes on Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, and dozens more were wounded across the country. The attack is notable because US President Trump had recently announced an agreement to stop strikes on energy infrastructure. The CHP-4 power plant, one of Kyiv's main energy facilities, was among the targets that were hit.
