At least two people were killed and dozens wounded in fresh Russian strikes on Kyiv and its surrounding region, authorities said Wednesday, following overnight missile and drone attacks. Kyiv's military administration reported that the barrage damaged residential buildings and several warehouses, with one woman killed and at least seven others wounded in the capital. Another person was killed in Bucha district west of Kyiv, with 21 people wounded in Kyiv's surrounding areas.

Escalating Conflict

The violence follows a series of deadly overnight strikes in the capital. Russian attacks on Kyiv and its suburbs on Saturday killed 10 people and wounded more than 30 others. Both sides have increased long-range attacks in recent weeks, with Russia more than doubling its use of missiles in July, according to an AFP analysis.

Call for Increased Defense

Ukraine has urged allies to supply more US-made Patriot interceptors as Russia steps up its use of ballistic missiles more than four years into its full-scale invasion. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has said a lack of ballistic missile interceptors 'only encourages Russia to launch such attacks that take human lives'. He met his US counterpart Donald Trump last Tuesday, partly to lobby Washington for licences to produce Patriots domestically.

International Concern

UN human rights monitors have voiced concern about rising numbers of civilian casualties, which have reached their highest level since Russia's invasion in February 2022. Ukraine expressed outrage over a video showing a man chased by a drone in Kherson city, calling it a deliberate 'hunt' and'safari' targeting civilians.
