KYIV, Ukraine - Ukraine said Wednesday it had downed more than two dozen cruise missiles and a swarm of attack drones across the country in the"most powerful" aerial attack on Kyiv in weeks.
In Kyiv, an AFP reporter heard at least three explosions at around 5:00 am as part of the country-wide barrage of 28 cruise missiles and 16 attack drones. Russian forces launched groups of Iranian-made Shahed drones at the capital from different directions, and launched missiles from aircraft, the Kyiv city military administration said.
The governor of the Pskov region bordering Estonia said air defence systems had repelled drones targeting the airfield roughly 700 kilometres from Ukraine's border. The state-run TASS news agency reported that Moscow's Domodedovo and Vnukovo airports had been temporarily closed. Tensions have also been building on the Black Sea since Moscow exited a deal allowing maritime exports from Ukraine, and threatened to attack cargo ships using Ukrainian ports.
