KYIV – Russia launched a new wave of overnight air strikes on Kyiv, with officials at the Ukrainian capital saying that air defense systems downed more than 20 cruise missiles on their approach. “All were shot down, there were no hits,” Serhiy Popko, head of Kyiv’s military administration, said on the Telegram messaging app.Reuters’ witnesses reported hearing several blasts that sounded like air defense systems while the city was under air raid alerts for more than four hours, starting soon after midnight on Tuesday.
Falling debris hit road surfaces and damaged power lines to the trolley system in Kyiv’s Desnianskyi district, the military said. The district, on the left bank of the Dnipro River, is Kyiv’s most populous.
