Russia resumes missile attacks against Kyiv following an almost two months hiatus

On Saturday, a missile struck Kyiv, breaking nearly two months of relative peace in the Ukrainian capital, as frontline regions fought off waves of drone attacks overnight.

Ukraine is ready for a new Russian aerial assault this winter, after systematic strikes last year targeted the country’s energy grid, leaving many without heating or electricity for long periods in frigid weather.

“After a long pause of 52 days, the enemy renewed missile attacks on Kyiv”, stated Sergiy Popko, the head of the Kyiv city military administration.

He went on to say that the Russians launched a missile attack on the capital early Saturday morning.

Soon later, air sirens began to wail.

When asked why the alarm went out after the explosion, Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ignat remarked on television that ballistic missiles fly extremely fast and are not as visible as cruise missiles on the radars.

The air force stated that it was investigating if the capital was hit by an Iskander ballistic missile, or by an S-400 anti-aircraft missile.

Ukraine has deployed more Western air defence systems, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky, as the country braces for a second full winter of Russian attacks on energy facilities.
