1/2⚡The russians launched a complex attack on Kyiv from different directions simultaneously, using UAVs, cruise missiles and, probably, ballistic missiles. It was exceptional in its density, said Serhiy Popko, head of the Kyiv City Military Administration. https://t.co/kEs0XYeDzl

- 6 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles
- 9 Kalibr missiles
- 3 ground-launched missiles
- drones
ALL TARGETS SHOT DOWN.
Forgot to say. Our Air Defense Forces shot down all 18 missiles! And I believe that, cause judging from the sounds, they fought like hell. Also, debris from one of the missiles fell into Kyiv Zoo. No one was hurt, but animals are stressed
