KYIV (Reuters) -Two people were killed and 13 others injured in Kyiv after Russian missiles and drones hit sites in Ukraine overnight, including infrastructure and energy sites, Ukrainian officials said on Saturday.

Ukraine has received more American-made Patriot air defense systems to counter Russia's attacks, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The jet engines are just the most recent upgrade to Russia’s KAB arsenal. In 2023, the Russian armed forces started fitting wings and guidance kit on these “dumb bombs” weighing between 250kg and 3 tonnes. That allowed them to glide for dozens of kilometres before exploding and leaving craters up to 20 metres wide and 6 metres deep.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has pleaded with Western partners to provide more Patriot systems but production limitations and the need to maintain stockpiles have slowed their delivery.View on euronews
