Russia fired 31 ballistic and cruise missiles at Kyiv before dawn on Thursday in the first attack on the Ukrainian capital in 44 days, officials said. Air defenses shot down all the incoming missiles, though 13 people including a child were injured by falling wreckage, they said. An 11-year-old girl and a 38-year-old man were hospitalised.
Residents of Kyiv were woken up by loud explosions around 5 am as the missiles arrived at roughly the same time from different directions. Ukraine’s air force said Russia launched two ballistic missiles and 29 cruise missiles against the capital.
