Attack on Kyiv and Ukraine
On the night of February 22, the enemy once again carried out a combined strike on Ukraine. Russians launched drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles at Ukrainian cities.
At least Kyiv, Kropyvnytskyi, Poltava, and Mykolaiv came under attack. Judging by the number of explosions and the direction of the missiles, the first two cities suffered the most.
In particular, Kyiv was attacked with ballistic missiles three times, and toward morning, cruise missiles were flying toward the capital simultaneously with drones. The city was extremely loud.
