KYIV, May 16 ― Russia launched a fresh wave of air attacks on the Ukrainian capital early today and Ukrainian officials said defence systems had shot down objects over several districts of Kyiv.
It was not immediately known how many objects were shot down over the city and if any of them managed to hit their target. It was also not clear whether it was a missile or a drone attack. Reuters' witnesses reported a series of very loud blasts in the capital.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said falling debris set several cars on fire and damaged a building in the Solomyanskyi district in the capital's west. Three people were injured.
Two cars caught fire in the city's southeastern Darnytskyi district, he added. Debris also fell on the city's zoo in the Shevchenkivskyi district.
Kyiv's military administration said falling debris was reported in the capital's Obolonskyi, Shevchenkivskyi, Solomyanskyi and Darnytskyi districts.
After a weeks-long hiatus, Russia in late April resumed its tactic of long-range missile strikes and has launched a flurry of attacks in recent days, often targeting Kyiv.

Nazi Russia's desperate missile tactics against Ukraine look a lot like Nazi Germany's use of V-1 and V-2 missiles in late 1944 and 1945 until their surrender.
ReplyDeleteMass waves of missiles to attack known fixed targets, killing civilians , terrorising the population, but of little military impact.
True military targets have long ago been dispersed to usually unknown and difficult to detect locations, or on wheels, so they can be moved around.
Wakakakaka…
ReplyDeleteWhat a fart of inconsequential!
"Mass waves of missiles to attack known fixed targets, killing civilians , terrorising the population, but of little military impact"
