A 14-year-old girl was killed in a drone strike in the Boryspil district, while Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said a two-year-old girl died after being struck by a downed drone. The continuing attacks have renewed Kyiv’s calls for additional Western air-defense systems as Russia’s war against Ukraine continues to claim lives far beyond the front lines.

Zelenskyy said nearby infrastructure suffered significant damage, including residential buildings and a facility caring for elderly people.
