Russian Ballistic Missile Strikes on Kyiv Kill Two, Hit Power Plant; No Western Warning

Russian forces launched a second ballistic missile attack on Kyiv within 24 hours, killing two and wounding four in a residential area and striking a thermal power plant. Ukraine received no advance warning from Western allies for either strike, a deviation from prior practice that raises questions about intelligence-sharing gaps. The attack underscores continued Russian escalation against Ukrainian infrastructure and civilian targets.
