At least three people, including two children, have been killed during a nighttime Russian attack on the Ukrainian capital Kiev, according to local authorities.
– I ask you to follow all safety measures when the air traffic alert is active, says Serhiy Popko, head of Kiev’s military administration, according to CNN.
Ukraine’s air force says it shot down all ten missiles fired at Kiev during the night.
In connection with the shooting down, the robots fell down and hit, among other things, a healthcare facility, a high-rise building and cars, Kiev’s military leadership writes on Telegram.
At least 14 people have been injured, nine of whom have been taken to hospital, according to mayor Vitalij Klytjko.
Falling robots
Russia attacked Kiev overnight with ground-launched robots, according to the Ukrainian military.
The Ukrainian air defense has recently become more effective in stopping the Russian attacks. But when drones and robots are shot down, the parts that fall to the ground still cause damage.
