Kyiv experienced Russia’s most intense wave of air attacks in four years, as Reuters reported a barrage of air‑raid sirens, drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles that strained Ukraine’s air‑defence system. The assault resulted in 12 fatalities and widespread damage across the capital, marking the deadliest escalation of hostilities since the conflict began.

The request underscores ongoing concerns about the adequacy of existing air‑defence assets in countering the intensified threat.
