A Russian ballistic missile strike hit a defense industry exhibition outside Kyiv, killing at least 10 people and wounding about 100. Ukraine opened criminal proceedings to determine who allowed the event and whether safety measures under martial law were adequately assessed, while President Zelensky said the gathering should not have been held near residential areas. Russia said it targeted Ukrainian and foreign-made unmanned aerial vehicles at the expo, and Kyiv’s defense officials criticized the organization and safety protocols. In related actions, Ukraine conducted drone strikes on Moscow and Russia bombed Kyiv's defense exhibition, with Zelensky warning of a potential new massive attack within 48 hours. Ukraine’s Air Force intercepted at least one ballistic missile, though two missiles struck Kyiv Oblast, underscoring the ongoing threat and boosting calls for Patriot defenses. Market analyses suggested rising expectations of a Crimea recapture as the conflict expands, reflecting broader implications of escalating drone and missile exchanges.
