Several rocket attacks shook Kyiv again during the night. Mayor Klitschko spoke of at least fifteen people being injured.
The Ukrainian capital Kyiv was attacked with ballistic missiles late in the evening. The highest alert level was triggered at 10:06 p.m. local time (9:06 p.m. CEST). Just two minutes later, the Ukrainian Air Force reported the approach of several missiles. Media reported loud explosions over the city.
A second wave of attacks followed about an hour and a half later, with no new impacts reported. This could indicate a successful defense. The missile and drone alarm affected almost the entire Ukraine around midnight local time (11 p.m. CEST).
According to media reports, around 2 a.m. (01:00 a.m. CEST) there were again impacts and explosions.

Mayor Vitali Klitschko said that homes and a gas station on the eastern bank of the Dnipro were damaged by falling debris. There are at least fifteen people injured. It cannot be ruled out that people still have to be rescued from the damaged buildings. A more detailed overview of victims and damage was pending. He later announced that parts of a subway bridge were also damaged. The southern bridge over the Dnipro River is affected.
The night before, Russian drones had attacked Kyiv. Last week there were several ballistic missile attacks from Russia, which triggered a delayed air alarm in Kiev.
President Volodymyr Zelensky complained that there had been no prior warnings from foreign allies. Ukraine has been defending itself against a Russian war of aggression for more than four and a half years.
