Russia kills 12 in sixth night of drone strikes on Kyiv, exploiting Patriot shortage

Russian forces conducted a sixth consecutive night of drone and missile attacks on Kyiv, killing at least 12 people, including seven at a railway depot. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy stated Moscow is capitalizing on a shortage of US-made Patriot interceptors to lower morale in the capital. The sustained campaign signals a deliberate strategy to degrade air defenses and psychological resilience, with the Patriot shortage a critical vulnerability.
