Russian missile strike on Kyiv amid reports of Ukrainian air defense depletion

Russian forces launched a large-scale missile attack on Kyiv, reportedly utilizing Iskander ballistic missiles as Ukrainian Patriot interceptor stocks face depletion. The strike coincides with internal political friction in Kyiv following the dismissal of Minister Fedorov and ongoing criticism of General Syrskyi. It remains unclear if the shift to Iskander usage indicates a sustained change in Russian tactical doctrine or a temporary response to specific air defense gaps.
