Explosions rattled Kyiv during daylight Monday as Russian ballistic missiles took aim at the Ukrainian capital, hours after a more common nighttime barrage of the city by drones and cruise missiles. Russian forces fired 11 ballistic and cruise missiles at Kyiv about 11:30 a.m., according to Ukraine’s chief of staff, Valerii Zaluzhnyi. The Russian Defense Ministry said that early Monday it launched a series of strikes targeting Ukrainian air bases with precision long-range air-launched missiles. On Saturday night, Kyiv was subjected to the largest drone attack since the start of Russia’s war.
