Russia launches over 70 missiles and drones on Kyiv; protests grow after Fedorov ouster
The segment opens with a live report from a damaged Lukianivka metro station in Kyiv describing a major overnight Russian missile barrage exceeding 40 projectiles, including ballistic and Zircon types, with strikes on markets, residential areas, and prior-hit sites. The correspondent notes extremely short warning times after the 1:30 a.m. siren, leaving millions without adequate shelter, several injuries, and fears of rising casualties. It then shifts to protests in the capital over President Zelenskyy's recent government reshuffle that removed popular Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov. Demands include his reinstatement, removal of Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi, and reconvening of parliament; Zelenskyy has acknowledged concerns but indicated changes will take time amid two interim ministers.
