Russia has launched its first missile attack on Kyiv since August, a development that alarms Ukrainian officials and civilians as winter approaches. Early reports from Ukraine’s military confirm that air defenses intercepted the majority of the missiles, averting significant damage to critical infrastructure in the capital city.
