Earlier, this morning, about 10 Tu-95MS missile-carrying bombers fired cruise missiles of the X-101/555/55 type from the area of ​​the city of Engels, Saratov region.

None of the missiles aimed for Kyiv reached the target. Air defense forces shot down all the missiles used to attack Kyiv on the approach to the city, Serhiy Popko, the head of the KMVA, reports.

"As you can see, the enemy bided his time and began to use strategic aviation again for attacks on peaceful cities. Therefore, protect yourself and your loved ones, do not ignore air warning signals," he emphasized.
