# Five Russian ballistic missiles hit Kyiv without advance partner warning

Date: 2026

[President Volodymyr Zelenskyy](/people/volodymyr-zelenskyy) said Ukraine received no advance intelligence warning from international partners before five Russian ballistic missiles struck civilian infrastructure in Kyiv on 13 October 2026. AP reported that Zelenskyy stressed the value of early warnings for saving lives and preparing defenses. [President Donald Trump](/people/mig-donald-trump) said U.S. intelligence sharing with Ukraine continues, while Ukrainian officials also considered technical failures as a possible explanation for the absence of warning. The fact records the Russian strike and the warning failure as reported; it does not attribute responsibility for the strike or the missing warning to Zelenskyy.
