- Russian ballistic missiles hit Kyiv early Saturday, killing at least nine people and injuring more than 30 in the barrage, according to Kyiv-based reporting.
- Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine had run out of air defense interceptors, directly linking the depletion to the country's inability to stop the incoming Russian missiles.
Why it matters: With Zelensky publicly confirming zero interceptors remaining and Russian ballistic missiles actively striking the capital, at least nine killed and 30+ injured in a single barrage, Kyiv's civilian population faces an unmitigated threat until an unspecified resupply materializes.
