Patriot missile system in Ukraine likely ‘damaged’: Report

A US-made Patriot missile defence system being used by Ukrainian forces has likely suffered some damage from a Russian air attack but does not appear to have been destroyed, two United States officials told the Reuters news agency.

The reported damage to the US-donated missile defence system follows Russia’s Defence Ministry on Tuesday saying that a Russian hypersonic Kinzhal missile had destroyed a Patriot missile battery in Kyiv.
