Rocket strike on Kyiv

According to the Kyiv City Military Administration (KCMA), on January 2, the Russian army launched a second consecutive strike using a large arsenal of aerial weapons.

The air raid alarm lasted almost 6 hours in total. Initially, the enemy launched about a dozen barrage-type Shahed missiles at the capital.

Following them, over a dozen Tu-95MS strategic bombers launched groups and waves of cruise missiles Kh-101/Kh555X-55. Simultaneous with the missile attack on Kyiv, over ten MiG-31K aircraft launched aeroballistic missiles, such as Kh-47M2 Kinzhal.

With the efforts and means of air defense, all Shahed UAVs and over 60 missiles Kh-101/Kh555X-55 and a dozen Kh-47M2 Kinzhal missiles were destroyed (the Air Force will provide the final type and quantity), as reported by the KCMA.

"But due to such a massive missile attack in the capital, unfortunately, there are destroyed residential buildings and damage to infrastructure. There are casualties—especially dire consequences in the Solomianskyi district. Fires in multi-story residential buildings have been recorded there. The fire trapped people on the upper floors.
