Russian ballistic missile strikes on Kyiv early Saturday killed at least nine people and injured 23, according to Ukrainian officials.

This escalation of ballistic missile attacks on the capital comes as Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that interceptors are urgently needed. The strikes occurred two days after a suspected Russian cruise missile landed in Poland during a broader attack on Ukraine that resulted in multiple deaths.
