the city of kyiv targeted by Russian hypersonic missiles

An art school located in a residential area in the center of kyiv (Ukraine) was completely destroyed. Miraculously, no one was inside when the missile hit on Monday March 25. A young girl, Veronica Matsevita, and her grandfather, Analotyi Kryvolap, who live very close to the site of the explosion, are still in shock. “I was lying on the bed, playing with my phone when the attack happened. I got dressed straight away and went out. There was dust everywhere”says the child.

Two Zircon hypersonic missiles

Around 10:30 a.m., two missiles targeted the capital. These are hypersonic Zircon missiles, so fast that they are very difficult to intercept. They were used for the first time in Ukraine in February 2024. It is difficult not to see a message from Russia, while Vladimir Putin implies that Ukraine could be behind the attack in Moscow. For the mayor of kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, these insinuations have no value, and will not change the course of the war. “For two years the Russians have been using every pretext to describe us as radicals, extremists, and to try to justify what they are doing.”comments the latter.
