These missiles approached Kyiv from the south in several waves. Almost simultaneously with the missiles, enemy attack UAVs also moved toward the capital from the same southerly direction. 

As early reports indicate the enemy also launched ballistic missiles on the capital while [air defence systems] were responding to the attack [by cruise missiles and attack UAVs]."
