Russia targets Kyiv with missile attack, several injured reported

There have been multiple reports of Russian missile attacks on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. According to Ukraine's air force, they managed to shoot down all 31 missiles that were launched towards the city before dawn on a recent occasion. However, some debris from the fallen missiles injured at least 13 people and damaged several buildings. The attacks come amidst ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with the US military aid package for Ukraine being blocked in Congress for weeks. Previously, there have been significant Russian strikes on Kyiv, causing injuries and damage. The border region of Belgorod, which holds about 40% of Russia's iron ore and other minerals, was one of the staging grounds for Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. There is ongoing conflict between the two countries, with regular reports of military activity and attacks on civilian areas. The exact number of missiles shot down and casualties from these attacks may vary slightly between different sources.
