Iran Press/ Europe: “It was exceptional in its density — the maximum number of attack missiles in the shortest period of time,” Serhiy Popko, head of Kyiv’s city military administration, said in comments posted on the Telegram messaging app.
It was not immediately known how many Russian missiles and drones targeted the city in the early hours of Tuesday morning or the extent of possible damage and casualties. Air raid alerts had sounded across all of Ukraine as the Russian attack got underway, Al Jazeera reported.
Popko said that based on preliminary information, the majority of the “enemy targets in the airspace of Kyiv were detected and destroyed!”
Kyiv’s Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on the Telegram channel that three people were injured and a large building damaged.
Explosions were reported in the city’s Solomyanskyi district, the mayor said, and debris had fallen onto the city’s zoo in the Shevchenkivskyi district. In a separate post, Klitschko added that falling debris set ablaze several cars in Solomyanskyi.
