Kyiv has been struck by a second wave of Russian missile and drone attacks in less than five days, with several strikes hitting within a hundred metres of a residential building in a neighbourhood already damaged just a month ago. None of the 29 ballistic missiles launched were intercepted by Ukraine's air defences. Mayor Vitali Klitschko warned the attacks are unlikely to stop, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy heads to the NATO Summit in Ankara to urge allies to fulfil pledges of additional air defence systems.
