The KCMA emphasized that, according to the operational report, there are no destructions or injuries in the capital at this time.

The KCMA also notes that air raids have become more frequent lately: the day before there were four in a day. And since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, more than 1,200 alarms have been sounded in Kyiv in more than 900 days.
