Kyiv was targeted by an exceptionally dense attack of Russian drones, cruise missiles and possibly ballistic missiles in the eighth assault on the Ukrainian capital this month
The Russian aerial assault from multiple directions was “exceptional in its density, with the maximum number of attacking missiles in the shortest time possible,” Serhiy Popko, head of Kyiv’s military administration, said in a Telegram post. But most of the Russian munitions failed to hit their marks, Popko added. “The vast majority of enemy targets in Kyiv’s airspace were detected and destroyed,” he claimed. At least three people were injured, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko.
Two US officials said Russia had tried to destroy a Patriot battery with a Kinzhal air-launched ballistic-missile strike, but Ukraine Patriot operators were able to intercept the Russian weapon. Ukraine has received at least two Patriot systems, one from the United States and one from Germany, to enhance its air defenses, which had previously been unable to intercept more modern Russian missiles such as the Kinzhal.
