The Russians launched a massive attack on Kyiv using the X-101, "Calibers" And "Daggers"


The Russians launched a massive attack on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, using Kh-101 and Kalibr cruise missiles and Kinzhal supersonic missiles.

The missiles were launched from Mig-31 fighters, Tu-95 MS strategic bombers (at least 10) and from ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.

The targets of the missile attack were energy infrastructure and military facilities. “Several powerful explosions were heard early this morning in the center of Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, after an alarm sounded about a raid by Russian armed forces with missiles and drones,” a correspondent for the French agency reports. The journalist reported that from 05:00 local and Greek time, about ten explosions were heard, as well as Ukrainian air defense strikes.

Ukrainian channels show that a large number of civilians were at the Pecherskaya metro station in Kyiv at the time of the missile strike.


This is what a morning commute to work in Kyiv looks like. Crowds of people take shelter in the underground metro amid an ongoing missile alert.


Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said via Telegram that “rocket debris” fell in areas of the city, especially on residential buildings and other buildings.

The roof of a residential building is on fire in the Podolsk region, the mayor of Kyiv said.


This is the largest bombing of the Ukrainian capital since the end of January.
