City officials reported Russia launched an especially strong air attack on Kyiv in the early hours of Tuesday, utilizing drones, cruise, and possibly ballistic missiles. It was the seventh air raid this month.
“It was exceptional in its density – the maximum number of attack missiles in the shortest period of time,” Kyiv’s city military administration head Serhiy Popko stated on Telegram.
“According to preliminary information, the vast majority of enemy targets in Kyiv’s airspace were detected and destroyed!”
How many objects were shot down over the city, and if any hit their target, was unknown.
Russia resumed long-range missile strikes in late April, targeting Kyiv. Ukraine has repelled most attacks.
On Tuesday, officials reported debris falling in Kyiv’s Obolonskyi, Shevchenkivskyi, Solomyanskyi, and Darnytskyi districts.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported falling debris burned three cars and damaged a building in Solomyanskyi, the capital’s west. Three injured.
Klitschko said drones were being repelled south of Boryspil by air defenses. Kyiv’s former primary passenger airport is in Boryspil, southeast of the city.
The military government reported minimal damage and no immediate casualties in other districts.
Air raid sirens blared across nearly all of Ukraine in the early hours of Tuesday, including over Kyiv and surrounding regions for over three hours.
