Ukraine repels ‘exceptional’ Russia missile, drone, decoys attack on Kyiv

Ukraine’s capital Kyiv has come under a Russian aerial attack involving drones, cruise and ballistic missiles in what one Ukrainian military official described as an “exceptional” onslaught involving the most number of missiles fired by Moscow in the shortest time and from different directions.

“It was exceptional in its density — the maximum number of attack missiles in the shortest period of time,” Serhiy Popko, head of Kyiv’s city military administration, said in comments posted on the Telegram messaging app.

  1. Russia launched a fresh wave of air attacks on the Ukrainian capital early on Tuesday and Ukrainian officials said defense systems had shot down objects over several districts of Kyiv.

    It was not immediately known how many objects were shot down over the city and if any of them managed to hit their target. It was also not clear whether it was a missile or a drone attack. Reuters’ witnesses reported a series of very loud blasts in the capital.
