Russia returned this Friday to attack, for the sixth consecutive day, the Ukrainian capital, using “more than 30” missiles and drones, shot down by Ukrainian air defenses, the Kiev military administration reported.
“Terror continues in Kiev with airstrikes. Terrorists are desperate and are attacking the capital almost non-stop,” the military administration said in a report, noting that this was the sixth airstrike on the Ukrainian capital in six days.
According to those responsible, the Russian forces used a combination of drones (unmanned aerial vehicles), Iranian-made Shahed explosives, launched from “different directions”, and cruise missiles fired by aircraft, from the Caspian Sea.
So far, there is no information about possible victims. kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said no calls to medical services were made during or after the overnight attack.
The daily report of the General Staff of Ukraine said that Ukraine’s air defenses shot down 15 cruise missiles and 18 Shahed drones.
Russia has increased the intensity and frequency of drone and missile attacks on the Ukrainian capital since late April.
Although the Western defense systems that Ukraine has installed in kyiv shoot down almost all the shells, several people have been killed in recent days by falling debris from the interceptions.
Ukrainian forces said they believe Moscow wants to demoralize the population and deplete the ammunition of Ukrainian anti-aircraft systems with these attacks.
kyiv is trying to convince the allies to send more Patriot missile systems to better defend the territory from air attacks.
