The assault involved approximately 20 ballistic missiles, including modified S-400 and Iskander-M models, which struck the State University of Trade and Economics and the CHP-5 power plant. President Volodymyr Zelensky attributed the lack of successful interceptions to a shortage of Patriot PAC-3 interceptors and cited "artificial delays" in the delivery of air defense systems. Russia is believed to have at least 40 missiles staged in border regions, including Bryansk and Rostov Oblasts, for ongoing operations against Ukraine.
