Ukrainian air defenses shot down about 20 missiles aimed at Kiev on the night from Sunday to Monday, local authorities said, speaking of two injuries in the attack. In the city of Sumy, in the north-east of the country, a children’s social and psychological support center and an orphanage were also hit by a Russian missile, injuring 13 people, including four minors, the city’s mayor, Oleksandr Lysenko, said on Telegram. “Russian forces have carried out a new missile attack on Kiev with a combination of cruise missiles (propelled during the entire flight phase, ed.) and ballistic missiles,” the Civil and Military Administration of the Russian Federation said on Telegram.

According to the source, the cruise missiles were launched from strategic bombers flying over the Saratov region of Russia and, after carrying out “complex maneuvers”, came towards Kiev from the south. “Air defense forces destroyed more than a dozen cruise missiles, a dozen ballistic missiles and a drone in the capital’s airspace,” it was explained. Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram that two adults were injured and four cars caught fire after falling debris. The war continues unabated and the capital has once again become a battleground for several weeks.
