Russian ballistic missile strikes on Kyiv kill one, damage bridge and university

Russian forces conducted a series of ballistic missile and drone strikes on Kyiv, targeting critical infrastructure including the Pivdennyi Bridge, metro facilities, and power plants, resulting in civilian casualties. Concurrently, Ukraine executed deep strikes against Russian defense industrial facilities, notably battery plants in Yelets and Lipetsk crucial for missile and glide bomb production, and a titanium producer in Perm Krai. The sustained targeting of both Ukrainian urban infrastructure and Russian military-industrial complex indicates an escalating pattern of reciprocal deep strikes.
