Russia Ukraine repels air attack on Kiev

Russia has once again attacked the Ukrainian capital Kiev from the air during the night. "It was the fifth airstrike on Kiev since the beginning of September," wrote the military administration of the city of Kiev on Telegram. All drones dangerous to the capital had been shot down.

The Ukrainian air defense reported the launch of two missiles and six drones in the morning. Russia had attacked from the Russian region of Kursk and the occupied region of Donetsk with three missiles and eight drones. The third missile had not reached its target and two drones had presumably crashed.
