In the morning, Russia carried out a combined missile and drone strike on Kyiv that lasted more than 2 hours, destroying several cruise missiles, several ballistic missiles and up to a dozen enemy drones, with no damage or casualties, KCMA reported on Telegram on Wednesday, UNN reported.

The Russian armed forces have launched a combined missile and drone strike on Kyiv. For the first time in 73 days

- said Sergiy Popko, head of KCMA.

The enemy allegedly used air-launched cruise missiles, KN-23/KN-24/Iskander-M ballistic missiles, and Shahed/Geran/Gerbera/Parodya drones to carry out the attack. "The air alert in the capital was announced at half past seven in the morning due to the threat of UAVs from the east. At that time, the cruise missiles were already heading in the direction of Kyiv region. As the missiles were approaching Kyiv, the enemy simultaneously launched a ballistic missile attack on the capital. The enemy attack was completed by drones again. The air strike by the Russian armed forces on Kyiv lasted more than 2 hours," Popko said.

"As a result of the anti-aircraft battle, the Defense Forces destroyed several cruise missiles, several ballistic missiles and up to a dozen enemy drones (the exact number and type of weapons used will be made public in the Air Force reports). As of this minute, there is no information on damage or casualties in Kyiv," the KCMA chief said.

Kyiv residents were urged to be especially attentive to air raid alarms.
