Ukraine’s Air Force said on the Telegram messaging app that Russia attacked Kyiv with a Iskander short-range ballistic missile and drones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All missiles were destroyed on their approach to the city, Serhiy Popko, the head of Kyiv’s military administration, said on Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
