Russia launched an exceptionally intense air attack on Kyiv in the early hours, using drones, cruise and probably ballistic missiles, as the Ukrainian capital suffered its eighth air raid this month
"It was exceptional in its density - the maximum number of attack missiles in the shortest period of time," Serhiy Popko, head of Kyiv's city military administration, said in comments posted on the Telegram messaging app.
It was not immediately known how many objects were shot down over the city and if any of them managed to hit their target. On Tuesday, falling debris was reported in Kyiv's Obolonskyi, Shevchenkivskyi, Solomyanskyi and Darnytskyi districts, officials said. Klitschko said that south of Boryspil, air defence systems were repelling a drone attack. Boryspil, a city just southeast of Kyiv, is home to the capital’s main passenger airport, which is now closed.
