Russian forces launched a nighttime attack on Kyiv using Shahed drones and ballistic missiles. All the attack drones were shot down in the capital's airspace, and the missiles missed their targets, leaving the suburbs to take the brunt of the attack.

Last night, the Russians attacked Kyiv with dozens of Shahed attack drones and ballistic missiles, probably Iskander-M or North Korean KN-23. The Kyiv City Military Administration reports that all enemy attack drones were shot down in the airspace of the capital, UNN writes.

"For the second time since the beginning of August, the enemy has directed its air attacks on Kyiv. This night, 11.05.2024, began with the launch of ballistic missiles in the direction of Kyiv. Like the previous time, 6 days ago, air targets (like Iskander-M or North Korean KN-23) did not reach the capital, the suburbs took the hit," writes KCMA chief Serhiy Popko.

According to him, at that time it was already known about several dozen Shahed-type attack UAVs launched in Ukraine.
