Nearly 15 incoming air targets downed on approach to Kyiv - administration

Air defense forces overnight Thursday detected and destroyed almost one and a half dozen “air targets”.

This is reported by Ukrinform with reference to the Kyiv City Military Administration.

"This was the eighth consecutive attack of Shahed barrage munitions on Kyiv. And again, like yesterday, this was a massive attack. Air defense forces detected and destroyed almost one and a half dozen air targets on the approach to Kyiv," reported the administration chief, Serhiy Popko.

According to the official, the latest attack brought no casualties or destruction in the capital.

Popko added that the overnight air raid alert in Kyiv that lasted exactly three hours became the 820th for Ukraine’s capital since Russia’s full-scale invasion.

"The enemy will definitely pay the price for each of these troubles! Believe in Victory!" Popko emphasized, addressing city residents.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, an air raid alert went off in Kyiv and Chernihiv regions due to the detection of Russian strike drones. Shortly after, the alert was extended to the city of Kyiv, as well as Poltava and Cherkasy regions.
