The latest strikes follow a Monday night attack on the State University of Trade and Economics and other crowded areas, which President Volodymyr Zelensky said left dead and wounded. Ukraine's air defenses are currently depleted of Patriot PAC-3 interceptors, leaving the city exposed to at least 40 missiles that Russia has staged in its border regions, including Bryansk and Rostov Oblasts. Zelensky has called the delay in supplying additional air defenses a contribution to Russian terror.

Russian forces fired roughly 12 additional ballistic missiles at Kyiv early Tuesday, shifting their targets toward the city's energy grid. About five Iskander-Ms and one modified S-400 missile targeted the CHP-5 Combined Heat and Power Plant in southern Kyiv, while other missiles struck the Podilsky and Dniprovsky districts. This second wave brings the total to approximately 20 ballistic missiles used in the series of attacks on the capital, none of which Ukraine was able to intercept despite launching four non-Patriot interceptors.
