Night attack by Russians: Enemy fires 40 cruise missiles and 35 drones into Ukraine
Over Kyiv, the Defence Forces were able to destroy more than 40 aerial targets.
This was reported by the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Telegram.
According to official statements, the Russians fired up to 40 X-101/X-555 air-launched cruise missiles from nine Tu-95ms strategic aircraft from the Caspian Sea area. In addition, Russia also launched some 35 strike drones to attack Ukraine.
Sixty-seven airborne targets were destroyed: 37 X-101/X-555 cruise missiles; 29 Shahed-136/131 strike UAVs; 1 operational-level reconnaissance UAV.
In particular, the Defence Forces were able to destroy more than 40 aerial targets over Kyiv. Critical damage, fatalities and casualties were avoided.
The Kyiv city military administration said that only 18 hours had passed between the previous most massive attack on the capital.
Only 18 hours have passed since the most massive UAV attack on Kyiv, and the enemy has attacked the capital again. This is the 15th aerial attack since the beginning of May! The Rascist terrorists are trying with all their might to carry out the defeat of key targets for themselves and at the same time to deplete the resources of our air defence. Also with these constant attacks, the enemy seeks to keep the civilian population in deep psychological tension. There were drones again this night - according to preliminary information, the enemy used Shahed barraging munitions. Almost simultaneously with the UAV attack, from the area of the Caspian Sea the enemy TU-95MS carried out launches of cruise missiles, probably X-101/555. The attack on the capital was therefore combined, from different directions.
It is reported that there is damage to residential buildings and infrastructure in Kyiv region, but there were no casualties.
Police continue to locate enemy aircraft wreckage and record the aftermath of the night attack.
