Russian missiles, drones target Kyiv, says Ukrainian military
The Ukrainian military said Russian soldiers attacked the Ukrainian
capital, Kyiv, with missiles and drones in the first such combined attack for months.
The head of the military administration, Serhiy Popko, said on Wednesday that several missiles and drones were shot down during the attack.
The authorities said that in the district of Brovary, east of Kyiv, one person was slightly injured by falling rocket debris, and a fire destroyed one building.
According to the Ukrainian air force, two cruise missiles of the type Ch-101 and two Iskander ballistic missiles were intercepted.
In addition, 37 of 90 combat drones were shot down across the country.
Forty-seven others dropped off the radar, mostly due to electronic countermeasures.
Two more drones are believed to have left Ukrainian airspace in the direction of Russia and Belarus.
Ukraine has been defending itself against the Russian invasion for almost 1,000 days.
