Thirty-one Russian missiles were intercepted by Ukraine in Kiev. In the first attack on the Ukrainian capital in forty-four days, Russia’s air force launched 31 ballistic and cruise missiles against Kyiv before dawn on Thursday, according to officials.
Air defences shot down all the incoming missiles, though 13 people including a child were injured by falling wreckage, they said. Residents of Kyiv were woken up by loud explosions around 5 a.m. local time as the missiles arrived at roughly the same time from different directions, said Serhii Popko, head of the Kyiv City Administration.
