A Russian missile strike on a defense-industry exhibition near Kyiv has killed a worker employed by a Polish defense company, according to reports cited by the Kyiv Post. The attack targeted an event linked to Ukraine's defense sector near the capital.

Initial reporting indicates the victim was a foreign national working for a Polish firm involved in the exhibition. The strike adds to concerns over the safety of civilian and industry personnel connected to defense activities in Ukraine.

The reported attack highlights how military strikes can affect not only Ukrainian sites but also international companies and workers operating in the country. Defense exhibitions and related events can draw foreign participation, making such incidents diplomatically sensitive as well as deadly.

Public details remained limited in the trimmed report, and no broader casualty count or further damage assessment was clearly established from the available information. What is clear is that the missile strike near Kyiv turned a defense-industry gathering into a fatal incident involving a Polish company employee.
