KYIV, Ukraine (AP) \u2014 A Russian missile barrage overnight Thursday killed at least six people in Kyiv as explosions echoed across the capital throughout the night, local authorities said.<\/p>\n

At least 33 people were wounded in the attack, according to Ukraine\u2019s Emergency Service. The air raid alert remained active into the early morning hours Thursday.<\/p>\n

The strikes hit 12 locations across Kyiv\u2019s Darnytskyi, Sviatoshynskyi and Solomianskyi districts, damaging residential buildings, a medical facility and an educational institution. Emergency crews pulled people trapped under the rubble. <\/p>\n

Russia has intensified ballistic missile attacks on the capital<\/span> to constrain Kyiv\u2019s air defense stocks. Kyiv has limited systems capable of intercepting ballistic threats, while supplies of missiles for its U.S.-made Patriot air defense systems remain chronically constrained. <\/p>\n

U.S. President Donald Trump had authorized Ukraine<\/span> to obtain licenses to produce Patriot air-defense systems, but later reversed that decision.<\/p>\n

Ukraine, meanwhile, has intensified its own campaign of long-range strikes<\/span> against weapons depots, military facilities and other strategic targets deep inside Russian territory, seeking to degrade Moscow\u2019s ability to sustain its attacks on Ukrainian cities.<\/p>\n

In Solomianskyi district, the top two floors of a 9-story residential building were destroyed and fires broke out on other floors. People were also trapped in two residential buildings and a school shelter. <\/p>\n
