There were no reports of deaths or injuries. “Another massive airstrike on the capital,” Kiev military administrator Serhiy Popko wrote on Telegram. About 20 enemy targets were identified and destroyed in the airspace around Kiev.
“Critical infrastructure” was hit several hundred kilometers further west in Lviv, and a fire broke out, according to the military administration of the city of 700,000. The military administration of the south-eastern region of Zaporizhia said Russia had fired on telecommunications infrastructure and agricultural land. It was an attack with seven Russian missiles, explained the top military command.
