Ignat refutes that 16 missiles hit Kyiv on January 13

Yuriy Ignat, Head of Communications for the Ukrainian Air Force Command, said that there was no massive strike with 16 ballistic missiles over Kyiv on January 13.

Ignat said this on television, according to a Ukrinform correspondent.

“Indeed, on January 13, there were no such strikes on Kyiv as mentioned, 16 ballistic missiles. This was data for the entire territory of Ukraine,” he said.

Ignat clarified that two Iskander-M missiles were destroyed over Kyiv at that time, and two more missiles were shot down in the Kyiv region.

“Well, of course, this does not reduce the risks and destruction that Russia regularly causes in the capital and other regions,” the Air Force representative added.
