Missile attack on Kyiv: air defenses intercept over 40 targets

That’s according to the Kyiv City Military Administration, Ukrinform reports.

"There were drones again this night - according to tentative reports, the enemy employed Shahed barrage munitions. Almost simultaneously with the UAV attack, enemy TU-95MS launched cruise missiles, likely Kh-101/555, from the Caspian region. So it was a combined attack on the capital, from different directions. In total, more than 40 air targets were detected and destroyed our air defense. No strikes were allowed in Kyiv! We thank the air defense for the excellent performance!" the statement reads.

The debris broke through the roof of a residential building in Podilskyi district, with no casualties reported.

The operational summary is being updated and verified on the ground.

Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko personally thanked the air defense forces for their work.
