Quote from Popko: "In total, since the beginning of the day, air defence assets and personnel have destroyed about 15 attack drones and several missiles near the city of Kyiv (the exact number and type of air targets will be revealed by the Air Force). Everything that was flying towards the capital of Ukraine was destroyed."

Details: He said that this Russian attack was again a combined one, just like the previous night, and the Russians attacked with drones and ballistic, cruise and aeroballistic missiles.

An air-raid warning has been issued four times in Kyiv since the beginning of the day and was in place for more than five hours in total. Initially, it was associated with a drone attack. Drones entered the city in waves and from different directions.

Around 03:00, several MiG-31K fighter jets took off in Russia, and those jets fired Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles across Kyiv Oblast towards the western regions of Ukraine.

Quote from Popko: "Several enemy Tu-95MS strategic bombers took off at about the same time. Preliminary  data indicates that Kh-101 cruise missiles from these aircraft attacked Kyiv at around 05:00. The air strike, like yesterday, again ended in waves of loitering munitions attacks."  

More details: Popko reiterated that the falling of debris from the downed targets was recorded in the forest park areas of the Dniprovskyi and Desnianskyi districts of Kyiv. As a result, the forest floor caught fire in several places. Some fires have already been extinguished, while the rest have been contained.

Quote from Popko: "Emergency services are working at the scene. No information on casualties has been reported. There is no damage in the capital."
