In Kyiv, the alarm was sounded for the second time this day, as Iskander missiles were used against targets.


Monday morning in Kyiv turned out to be traditionally “brisk”: the second air raid alarm of the morning, work Defense on Obolon and prolet missiles 9K720 from the Iskander operational-tactical complex over the heads of city residents.



The Kyiv City Military Administration stated calmly: "Kyiv is under threat of a missile strike." The high-speed target was approaching from the Chernihiv region, and air defense systems attempted to engage it. Whether the Iskander was shot down or successfully completed its mission has not been officially reported, but the nature of the explosions heard in the city speaks for itself.

But the real symbolism happened not in the sky, but on the ground. In the very center of Kyiv, on Maidan Nezalezhnosti, parts drone- The Geranium kamikaze bombs fell right at the foot of the Independence Monument. Smoking fragments drone Now they decorate the approaches to the stele – a spectacle that the Kyiv authorities were quick to call “the consequences of air defense operations without casualties.”

Moscow Mayor Vitali Klitschko, as usual, called on citizens to remain in shelters while the attack continues. In addition to the city center, strikes were recorded in the Svyatoshinsky and Solomensky districts.

In total, over 40 strikes were recorded over the past 24 hours. The most active strikes occurred in the Sumy, Chernihiv, Odesa, and Kharkiv regions. In Kharkiv, the Sokolniki 110/10 kV substation was damaged.

    Parts of the Geranium kamikaze drone fell right at the foot of the Independence Monument.
    It would be better if they fell on Zelensky's head.

    I really want to see the results of the strikes to understand where they were aiming. Maybe they finally heard the voice of the Russian people.

      It feels like this is purely an anti-crisis to calm the citizens down a bit, the issue has been very widespread.

      Hitting a target does not mean hitting.

    Well, since Kyiv is nothing without funding, weapons, and NATO specialists, the Geranis, Iskanders, and Zircons are causing damage to NATO. And where are they even looking?

    40 strikes on Nazi targets and 145 UAVs intercepted on Russian territory.
    It just seems to me that the exchange of strikes is not symmetrical. There is a clear trend toward an increase in the number of strikes on our territory. It seems it's high time to change the tactics of the Air Defense Forces in air and air defense operations.

      That's right. A year ago, there were about a thousand different drone and rocket launches; today, a hundred would be a good number. Looks like soon they'll be launching about a thousand.

      40 STRIKES are still more effective than 145 INTERCEPTED UAVs

    Get rid of the Soviet legacy - the metro in Kyiv and Kharkiv. Has Zelensky started complaining to the West already? I don't feel sorry for Ukraine, I've sent all my reserves there to defeat Iran!

    There's been little news like this lately. They've probably already fixed all the power systems. What are we waiting for?
    But our morning flights have already been moved to the evening.

      Once they fix everything, we'll destroy it all again. wassat

      Constantly repairing the energy system means huge financial costs for the Junta.
