What the Russians used to attack

According to the Ukrainian Air Force, after 9:00 pm Kyiv time, the Russians began launching entire groups of drones toward various cities of Ukraine.

At the same time, closer to the start of the new day, Russian forces began a missile attack. First, the enemy launched Kalibr cruise missiles from the Caspian Sea, and simultaneously sent strategic bombers Tu-160 and Tu-95MS into the air.

The enemy attack came in several waves. After 1:10 am, Kalibr missiles were over Ukraine, followed shortly after by missiles likely from Tu-160 aircraft. Toward the morning, the military detected a new wave of cruise missiles, presumably from Tu-95MS. Monitoring channels reported that Kalibr missiles were heading toward Dnipro, while the morning missiles were headed for Kyiv.

Additionally, between approximately 2:15 am and 3:00 am, Russian units carried out ballistic missile strikes. Enemy missiles flew toward Kyiv and Kharkiv, and there are assumptions that they also targeted Zaporizhzhia.

Consequences of the Russian attack

The enemy attack on the capital began with drones at 1:55 am, followed by ballistic missile strikes and attempts to attack with cruise missiles.

Currently, consequences have been recorded in the Podilskyi, Shevchenkivskyi, Sviatoshynskyi, Obolonskyi, Solomianskyi, Holosiivskyi, and Darnytskyi districts.

Regarding the latter, a fire broke out on the territory of a non-residential building, spreading from the non-residential structures.

Fragments also fell at another location, causing a fire in a non-residential building.
