Ukrainian air defenses shot down numerous Russian drones and missiles over kyiv on the night of Tuesday June 11 to Wednesday June 12, the capital’s military administration announced. Russia launched 24 drones and six missiles across the country, the debris of which sparked a fire in the region surrounding the capital, injuring one man, according to national police.
“Missiles attacked kyiv from the South in several waves” And “almost simultaneously, enemy attack drones headed towards the capital from the same direction”the city’s military administration said on Telegram.
Since the Russian invasion began in February 2022, Ukraine has steadily strengthened its air defense over the capital, where attacks have declined significantly compared to the first months of the Russian assault. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, however, called on Tuesday, during a trip to Berlin, to “strengthen the air defense of Ukraine with everything possible” to defend in particular the eastern region of Kharkiv, bordering Russia and the target of an offensive by Moscow’s forces since May 10.
