Shelling of Ukraine

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the enemy has used an absolutely diverse arsenal for attacks against Ukraine: missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, artillery, guided aerial bombs (GABs), and more, posing a serious threat to civilians.

The night of January 1 was no exception. At approximately 7 a.m. in Kyiv, air defense systems (ADS) were activated. As of now, three people are known to have been injured due to the shelling of the capital.
