President Volodymyr Zelenskyi spoke on social media of a "sneak attack" and published photos and videos showing heavily damaged houses. The attack was aimed at causing maximum damage to people and civilian infrastructure, he wrote.
The Azerbaijani embassy in the capital was also hit by debris from a missile. According to Zelenskyi, Kiev was the main target of the attack, but the region around the capital and the Kharkiv and Odessa regions were also hit. According to preliminary information, a Zircon hypersonic missile was used in the Sumy region.
Selensky once again called for further sanctions against Russia. Ukraine also needs to strengthen its air defenses with additional systems and interceptor missiles, he reiterated.
Kiev's mayor Vitali Klitschko reported on the Telegram platform about numerous damages to residential buildings and several fires during the night. As the district heating network was also damaged, the heat supply was partially interrupted.
Ukraine has been defending itself against a Russian war of aggression with Western help for more than three and a half years.
