Kyiv region’s military administration says systems activated early on Tuesday after hundreds of drones and missiles fired at Ukraine on Monday
Ukraine’s air defence systems were activated early on Tuesday to repel a further Russian drone attack, the military administration of the Kyiv region said. Ukraine shot down five missiles and 60 drones launched by Russia during an overnight attack, the Ukrainian air force said on Tuesday. Russia launched 10 missiles and 81 drones during the assault, the air force added in a statement on the Telegram messaging app.
It comes after Russia fired hundreds of drones and missiles at Ukraine on Monday, killing at least seven people and battering the already weakened energy grid. Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, responded to Monday’s attack with a familiar call to western allies to provide more by way of air defence support and lift restrictions on using western weapons to strike deep into Russian territory.
