Kyiv was hit by a ballistic attack. Debris fell in several areas, and there are reported injuries. (UPDATE)

This was reported by the city military administration (KMVA) and the mayor Vitaly Klitschko.

At around 6:40, the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported a missile threat across the entire territory of Ukraine due to the takeoff of Russian MiG-31K aircraft. Subsequently, they warned of five high-speed targets heading towards the capital.

According to the words of the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council, Andrey Kovalenko, the Russians are striking with ballistic missiles from Bryansk.

As a result, vehicles caught fire in the Holosiyivskyi district. According to Klitschko, an ambulance was called to the strike site, and later it became known that one person was injured, followed by another. Both were hospitalized.
