Ukraine’s Air Force says it faced a “serious shortage” of interceptor missiles during a Russian attack on Kyiv on Sunday night, meaning none of the ballistic missiles—23 in total—were intercepted.

Officials reported at least 15 deaths in Kyiv from the strikes, with eight more killed across the wider Kyiv region. President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine had been able to shoot down or suppress many drones and cruise missiles, but that ballistic missiles overwhelmed air-defence capacity.

Zelensky appealed to allies ahead of a NATO summit, arguing it is “absurd” that interceptor production has not been scaled up enough to protect people from what he called “ballistic terror.” He said Russia would keep targeting residential buildings as long as defensive systems such as Patriot missiles remain insufficient in allies’ stockpiles.

In total, Ukraine said the Russian attack included 68 missiles and 351 strike drones. It reported intercepting or suppressing 37 missiles and 326 drones, while the ballistic-missile gap contributed to the damage in Kyiv, including partial collapse of multiple residential blocks. Ukrainian emergency services said dozens of people were injured, including children, and rescue teams continued work at strike sites.
