One person was killed and 16 were injured after Russia launched a broad attack with ballistic missiles and drones on Ukraine on Saturday night to Sunday. The main target of the bombing was the capital Kiev, where residential buildings, administrative buildings, and civil infrastructure were damaged, reports IPN citing local press.

According to the Ukrainian Air Forces, the Russian army attacked with 125 drones, 25 ballistic missiles, 10 Zircon hypersonic missiles, and six other types of missiles. Most of them targeted the Ukrainian capital. The anti-aircraft defense managed to shoot down only 108 drones and 18 missiles, the rest hit ten targets.

The President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, has characterized the bombing as one of the most extensive ballistic missile attacks on Kiev. He emphasized that defense against ballistic missiles remains the country’s main priority and has called for the acceleration of deliveries of Western systems and interceptors.

The publication The Kyiv Independent mentions that the attack caused fires in several districts of Kyiv. Residential blocks, a dormitory, a supermarket, administrative buildings, warehouses, and a logistics center in the Kyiv region were affected. The Lukianivska metro station was temporarily closed after one of its entrances was damaged by the explosion, and rescue teams evacuated several people from the buildings engulfed in flames.

The attack on Kiev takes place just a day after Ukraine launched a large-scale attack with drones on several regions in Russia. According to Russian authorities, seven people died and 25 were injured after a logistics center in the Tambov region was hit, and in the Moscow region, fires were reported at an oil depot and another logistics center.
