A large ballistic missile strike targeted Kyiv early Sunday, injuring at least five people. Ukrainian officials and the U.S. embassy had previously warned of a significant airstrike following Moscow’s threat of retaliation after a drone attack on a college dormitory in Russian‑occupied eastern Ukraine that killed at least 18.
