The early morning duel in the sky over Kyiv between air defenses and missiles was the ninth attack on the capital this month, in what one Ukrainian official called an “unprecedented” string of strikes. The city was targeted with several cruise missiles, all of which were shot down by air defenses, local officials said.
Debris from an intercepted missile fell in one neighborhood of the capital and caused a fire, said Serhiy Popko, the city’s military administrator, in a post on social media. There were no immediate injuries, he said. The flurry of missiles were followed by reconnaissance drones deployed over the capital, he added.
