On the night of May 3-4, the aggressor attacked Kyiv again with kamikaze drones and missiles, presumably of the ballistic type. Ukraine’s air defense forces shot down all enemy targets.

"Another air attack on Kyiv. It is already the third attack on the capital over four days of May! Our city has not suffered such a dense intensity of strikes since the beginning of this year! Last night, the aggressor again launched a comprehensive air attack on the capital. (In the capital, the air raid alert lasted for more than 3.5 hours.) The Russians attacked Kyiv with the use of loitering munition of the Shahed type and missiles, presumably of the ballistic type. (The type of missiles used will be determined only after fragments are examined)," Head of the Kyiv City Military Administration Serhiy Popko informs.

According to preliminary information, the air defense forces destroyed all enemy missiles and UAVs in Kyiv's airspace. The data are being updated.

Popko added that according to operational reports, there were no civilian casualties or destruction of residential objects or infrastructure facilities. Fragments fell in some areas of the capital but they did not cause harm to people's lives and health or serious damage to the city's buildings.

"The information is checked and updated. I will never get tired of thanking the air defense forces of Kyiv," said the head of the Kyiv City Military Administration.
