Tension in One of Asia’s Flashpoints 
Russian strikes on Ukraine’s capital killed at least nine people and wounded more than a dozen others, local officials said on Saturday, after Kyiv’s mayor warned of a ballistic missile attack.
It comes after the United Nations found June was the deadliest month for civilians in Ukraine since April 2022.
Russia has stepped up long-range strikes on the capital in recent months, while Ukraine is chronically short of air defences capable of downing ballistic missiles, which travel at several times the speed of sound.
Kyiv’s emergency service said the strikes early on Saturday had killed nine people.
“Fires and destruction occurred in 5 districts of the capital,” the State Emergency Service of Ukraine said on Telegram, adding that 23 people were wounded in the ballistic missile attack.
The city’s mayor reported two boys aged 13 and 17 were among the wounded.
“Explosions in the city. Kyiv is under ballistic missile attack. Stay in shelters!” Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko wrote earlier
