Russia's defense ministry on Monday denied responsibility for a missile that hit a Kyiv residential building over the weekend, saying it was likely caused by a failure of Ukraine's air defense system. Missiles struck the Ukrainian capital Kyiv for the first time in weeks on Sunday. Ukraine said an apartment block and a site close to a kindergarten were hit, with US President Joe Biden saying the attacks were more evidence of Russia's "barbarism" in its offensive against Ukraine.
In a statement, the Russian defense ministry said on Monday it had fired four missiles that hit their target, an arms factory in Kyiv. However, the ministry said it believed a Ukrainian Buk missile defense system by mistake intercepted a Ukrainian-fired S-300 air defense missile which then "fell on a residential building."
