Russian Iskander remnants strike Azerbaijan’s embassy in Kyiv, says Zelensky

Remnants of an Iskander missile used by Russia in a nighttime attack on Kyiv fell on the building of Azerbaijan’s embassy, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an X post.

“Sadly, four people have been killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. About 430 drones and 18 missiles were used in the strike, including ballistic and aeroballistic missiles,” Zelensky wrote.

He added that Ukraine is responding to these attacks with long-range capabilities, and that the world must halt the assaults through sanctions.

“Russia is still able to sell oil and build its schemes. All of this must end. A great deal of work is underway with partners to strengthen our air defense, but it is not enough. We need reinforcement with additional systems and interceptor missiles. Europe and the United States can help. We are counting on real decisions,” Zelensky wrote.
