On the eve of a NATO summit, Russia struck the Ukrainian capital Kyiv with ballistic missiles, marking the second major assault on the city in under a week. Ukrainian officials reported that at least seven people lost their lives in the attack. The strike came as the international community prepares for the NATO summit, where further support for Ukraine is expected to be discussed. Authorities are still assessing the full extent of casualties and damage. Analysts suggest the timing may be aimed at influencing summit deliberations. Residents of Kyiv once again sought shelter as air raid sirens sounded before the missiles arrived.
