Russian missile attacks have killed at least 10 civilians and injured others in several Ukrainian cities, including Sumy, Odesa and Kyiv, highlighting growing pressure on Ukraine's air defenses.

While most drones and missiles were intercepted, a shortage of Patriot systems leaves Kyiv vulnerable to ballistic missile strikes.

At the most recent NATOsummit. there were discussions on allowing Ukraine to produce Patriot systems locally, which could strengthen defenses in the long term. But experts say that may take years.

Meanwhile, Ukraine is targeting Russian energy and transport infrastructure, contributing to fuel shortages inside Russia.
