KYIV, Ukraine, July 2, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - A barrage of Russian missiles and drones killed at least 13 people in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, officials said Thursday, as Ukraine urged its allies to send more air defence systems.

"As of now, 13 deaths have been recorded," Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on social media, after Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga called on allies to "not delay decisions on air defense for Ukraine."
