The Russian army fired ten rockets at Kyiv in the night from Tuesday to Wednesday. The Ukrainian army has repelled all attacks. More than fifty people were injured by falling debris.
The Ukrainian army reports on Telegram that anti-aircraft defenses repulsed the attack by the ten ballistic missiles at 3 a.m. (local time).
Debris from the destroyed rockets fell on several parts of the city. As a result, buildings and houses were damaged and fires broke out in some places. Windows also broke due to the shock wave caused by the destruction of the missiles.
According to the Ukrainian army, 51 people were injured, including six children. The water supply was also damaged in one neighborhood. Many injuries are caused by broken windows, a spokesperson said. Seventeen residents were evacuated because a fire broke out around their homes.
The Ukrainian Air Force reports that ten attack drones were on their way to Odesa on the same night. These drones were also shot out of the sky. Russia has not yet responded to either attack.
This week, Russia launched major missile attacks on Kyiv for the first time in months. During the night from Sunday to Monday, the Ukrainian army shot down eight rockets that had been fired at Kyiv. Four people were injured.
