Russian ballistic missile lands unexploded in Kyiv residential courtyard — photoreport

Photos released from the scene show the intact wreckage of the ballistic missile lying in the courtyard enclosed by multi-story residential buildings in the capital. The surrounding area suffered localized ground and structural damage from kinetic impact forces, but the failure of the warhead to detonate averted mass devastation.

Russia's coordinated overnight missile assault against Kyiv killed two civilians and injured at least eight others.
