Ukraine sees highest intensity of attacks on Kyiv since early year

The air alert in Kyiv lasted more than 3.5 hours. The city’s military administration said the capital had been hit for the third time since early May. It is claimed that there has not been such an intensity of strikes since the beginning of 2023, reported from the Ukrainian media.

The Russian Armed Forces carried out an attack on the capital with the use of loitering Shahed-type ammunition and rockets, probably of a ballistic type. Air defense forces shot down all enemy missiles and UAVs. Ukraine’s Air Force shot down 21 of the 26 Shaheds launched.
