Missile and drone attack on Kyiv
Over the past 24 hours, the capital of Ukraine experienced a combined aerial attack. According to reports in Киевский Движ, the city was attacked by ballistic missiles, "Zircon"-type missiles, and drones, which led to an announcement by Mayor Vitali Klitschko regarding power supply disruptions in the Podilskyi, Obolonskyi, and Sviatoshynskyi districts (according to Klitschko).
Field reports indicate heavy damage. Киевский Движ noted that following the fall of missile debris, a fire broke out at a gas station in the Darnytskyi district. It was also reported that a non-residential building was hit in the Podilskyi district and damage was caused to the roof of a 9-story building, while in the Obolon district, vehicles burned and fires broke out in open areas near a kindergarten.
The attack began with the detection of takeoffs of Tu-95 and Tu-160 strategic bombers and the launch of "Kalibr" missiles, as reported in Труха⚡️Київ. The channel Україна⚡️Новини⚡️Війна estimated that ten missiles were launched toward the capital. The channel ЗСУ ДВІЖ, identified with declared support for Ukrainian security forces, confirmed the use of "Zircon" missiles against the city.
While local Ukrainian sources focused on documenting the damage and operational alerts, no conflicting reports were recorded from official sources in Russia, as the provided sources reflect the Ukrainian narrative reporting on attacks against civilians and critical infrastructure.
