01 · THE DISPATCH

Russia is conducting a combined missile and drone attack on Kyiv as of this hour, according to Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12), who reports loud explosions in the city. The scale and nature of the strike — whether ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, or drone salvos — have not been specified. No official figures on interceptions or casualties are yet available.

This comes after a series of major Russian strikes on Ukraine this week: on Monday, Russia launched approximately 74 missiles and over 600 drones overnight, hitting Kharkiv and Kyiv, killing eight. A separate Monday strike in Kyiv was reportedly a Zircon hypersonic missile, though that remains unverified. The current attack follows the same pattern of combined-arms strikes on urban centers. Targets, interception rates, and casualties are not yet confirmed.
