Kyiv under rocket attack: fear and injured in the capital!
On the night of Sunday, Russia Kyiv again attacked rockets. According to the military administration, at least three people were injured. Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported several fires in at least three districts of the capital. From 04:00 a.m. there was air alarm for the entire Ukraine. The Air Force warned of impending attacks on the western regions of the country. In order to protect the airspace, Poland caught off, while reports on damage in other West Ukrainian areas still failed to fail. Loud explosions were also heard in Kiev, and Klitschko appealed to the population to go into shelter.
The extent of the attack on Kiev was initially unclear, but the Ukrainian Air Force reported that a combined Russian attack with 23 rockets, marching air bodies and over 100 drones took place. Of these, 13 rockets and marching aircraft were intercepted, but the air defense was largely powerless compared to the ballistic Iskander M rockets. In the areas of Kyiv, Sumy, Charkiw, Chmelnyzkyj, Tscherkassy and Mykolajiw, damage was reported. In Mykolajiw there were reports of three injuries and damage to residential buildings. Outside the capital, an attack on Krywyj Rih was recorded on Friday, in which at least 19 people, including nine children, were killed.
background of the attacks
On November 17, 2024, a massive rocket attack on Ukraine took place, which Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrij Sybiha described as one of the most severe of war. With around 120 rockets and 90 drones, the attacks against critical energy infrastructure in the entire Ukraine were directed. There were considerable damage in the regions of Saporischschja, Krywyj Rih, Riwne and Wolhynia. The largest private energy supplier in Ukraine, DTEK, confirmed the damage to a heating power plant, which led to temporary electricity cuts in several areas. Energy Minister Herman Haluschtschenko warned in advance of another massive attack on the power grid.
In view of this escalation of violence, the Ukrainian authorities and the military have reinforced their preparations for the defense against further attacks on the critical infrastructure and the civilian population. The potential of further attacks remains high, which means that the situation for the population in the affected regions remains extremely tense.| Details | |
