The assault was part of a larger overnight wave that saw 16 ballistic missiles and more than 280 drones fired at multiple Ukrainian regions, including Odesa and Kharkiv. In Kyiv, the strikes hit the State University of Trade and Economics dormitories and residential areas, leaving one person dead and 14 injured. President Volodymyr Zelensky said the air-defense failures resulted from artificial delays in the delivery of Patriot and NASAMS interceptor packages, asserting that Russia timed its missiles to strike again while rescuers were treating the wounded from the first attack.
