Russia Launches Missile Attack on Kyiv

On November 13, Russia launched its first missile and drone attack on Kyiv in over two months, using North Korean KN-23/24 ballistic missiles, which experts confirmed through forensic analysis. The coordinated assault targeted eight regions of Ukraine and involved six ballistic and cruise missiles along with 90 drones, resulting in numerous explosions across the capital. Despite effective air defenses intercepting several projectiles, debris from the strikes injured a civilian and caused property damage. This marks a strategic escalation by Russia, further challenging Ukraine's air defenses as the winter season approaches. Concurrently, reports emerged of North Korean troops aiding Russian forces in the Kursk region, highlighting the evolving military collaboration between Moscow and Pyongyang. As the situation develops, Ukrainian officials are imposing electricity usage restrictions to conserve resources amidst ongoing attacks and power shortages.
