Russia Strikes

Ukraine said the United States diverted Patriot interceptors to its Iran war, creating an acute shortage and prompting President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to request 5 percent of U.S. stock to protect civilians this winter.
A Kyiv children’s hospital was hit, but shelters prevented casualties.
Zelenskyy warned North Korea missiles and troops are heightening civilian danger.
