UMAN, Ukraine – Mr Dmytro raced to the room where two of his children had been sleeping, after a Russian missile thundered into his apartment building in Uman, Ukraine, before dawn on Friday. He forced the door open and stared into oblivion.

On Friday, Russian bombers over the Caspian Sea fired 23 cruise missiles that struck after 4am local time, and Ukrainian forces shot down 21 of them, Mr Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, the commander of Ukrainian military forces, said in a statement. Mr Dmytro, whose two children are missing, speaks with a psychologist from the emergency services department in Uman. PHOTO: NYTIMESIn a trove of Pentagon documents related to the war in Ukraine that have leaked online, US intelligence agencies speculated that without a major influx of Western munitions, Ukraine’s entire air defence network, weakened by repeated Russian barrages, could fracture.

There were also explosions in Kyiv, the capital, apparently from air defence batteries destroying missiles in flight.In Uman, Ms Inna and Mr Dmytro, who asked that their surnames not be used for security reasons, and their 6-year-old son were unharmed.Ms Inna stood outside, where charred cars lined the parking lot, staring at the wreckage of what had been her home and repeating into the wind that maybe the blast had carried Sophia and Kyrylo away, alive.

As firefighters doused flames rising from the rubble, rescuers uncovered bodies and survivors through the day and into the evening.
