Initially, it was related to the attack of enemy drones, previously of the Shahed type. The drones entered the city in waves and from different directions. Around 3 a.m., the enemy took several MiG-31Ks into the air and fired Kinzhal missiles across Kyiv region in the direction of the western regions of Ukraine. Around the same time, several enemy Tu-95MS strategic bombers took off. Preliminarily, X-101 cruise missiles from these aircraft attacked Kyiv at around 5 a.m. The air strike, like yesterday, again ended in waves of barrage attacks," the KCMA said.
