Quote: "The enemy carried out another large-scale missile attack on Ukraine last night. The air-raid warning was in force for almost seven hours in the capital. Ruscists launched almost all types of their air-launched missiles – from Shahed kamikaze drones to almost all [kinds of] cruise missiles."

Details: Popko has said that no cruise missiles or UAVs hit the capital due to  the efficiency of Ukrainian air defence. 

Nevertheless, preliminary information indicates that a Kinzhal ballistic missile hit an infrastructure facility. 

It is reported that all relevant services are working at the scene. Clean-up efforts to deal with the aftermath are still ongoing. 

Emergency power cuts have been implemented in Kyiv. 

Quote: "Missile fragments injured two people in the Sviatoshynskyi district. They are being provided with medical assistance. In addition, missile fragments damaged some cars. The information is being confirmed."
