Russia increases drone and missile strikes on Kyiv in major escalation

rte.ie — November 13, 2024, 10:01 PM UTC

Russia has intensified its attacks on Kyiv, launching a combined assault of drones and missiles for the first time in over 70 days. Ukraine's air force reported downing four missiles and 37 drones during the overnight attacks. The escalation coincides with reports of North Korean troops engaging in combat alongside Russian forces. Ukrainian officials noted one injury from falling debris in Brovary and confirmed a separate drone strike in Kherson that killed a woman. Ukrainian officials are seeking more air-defense support from Western allies amid concerns over future military aid following the recent U.S. presidential election. Discussions with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken included military assistance and the possibility of long-range strikes against Russian targets.
