A powerful missile hit Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, on April 24, leading to a tragic loss of life. This missile attack killed 12 innocent civilians and injured nearly 90 others. Many of the wounded are still in the hospital.

The North Korean ballistic missile that Russia fired at Kyiv during its April 24 mass strike contained at least 116 components sourced from multiple countries — most of them made by U.S. companies — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on April 25.
