In the night of March 21, Russian invaders launched missiles at Ukraine, with Kyiv being among the targets. The occupiers fired 31 missiles, including 29 cruise missiles Kh-101/Kh-555, Iskander-M missiles, and Kinzhal missiles, all of which were destroyed in the Kyiv region.

However, debris from the downed missiles fell in Kyiv, causing damage and igniting fires. In particular, residential buildings, kindergartens, and cars in the capital suffered damage.
