Russian attack on Kyiv
After a long pause, Russian forces launched another missile strike on Kyiv. The enemy used cruise missiles Kh-101/Kh-555/Kh-55 from the Tu-95MS strategic bombers and two ballistic/aeroballistic missiles Iskander-M (KN-23)/Kh-47M2 Kinzhal.
The air raid alert in the capital lasted nearly 3 hours. After complex maneuvers in neighboring regions, the missiles approached the capital simultaneously from different directions. All enemy targets were hit over Kyiv and in the vicinity of the capital by air defense forces - a total of 31 missiles. However, due to the falling debris, there are still consequences in three districts, and there is information about 13 casualties, including a child.
