Ukrainian military said it shot down five out of six missiles
and all 24 drones launched during Russia's overnight attack.
Ukraine's air defense systems destroyed all air weapons on their
approach to the capital, Serhiy Popko, head of Kyiv city
military administration said on the Telegram messaging app.
The debris damaged an industrial facility in the Kyiv region,
causing a fire, Kyiv region governor said. Over 105 people were
using 30 pieces of equipment to put out the fire as of Wednesday
morning.
The attack injured one resident and damaged a private residence,
a garage, a gas station and a storage unit, the governor said.
Dnipropetrovsk governor said the attack injured three people and
damaged nine private residences, reporting that Ukrainian
military shot down 11 drones over his region.
Air raid alerts lasted several hours across all of Ukraine,
starting soon after 0000 GMT and including in regions bordering
NATO-member Poland.
Polish and allied aircraft have been activated as a precaution,
the Operational Command of the Polish armed forces said on the
social media platform X. That is often the case when Russia
launches an air attack on Ukraine's western regions.
