Ukraine's air defenses engaged in a five-hour battle against a Russian aerial attack on the capital city of Kyiv, officials reported on Thursday. The overnight assault resulted in injuries to at least two individuals, as confirmed by Ukraine's Emergency Service. The attack caused damage to a kindergarten, a gas pipe, and approximately 20 cars within the city, according to the Kyiv Military Administration.
Russia's military campaign in Ukraine, now in its third year, has been characterized by long-range strikes that often target civilian areas. The ongoing attacks on the electricity network have led to the disruption of around 70% of Ukraine's energy generation capacity, resulting in blackouts as the country braces for winter.
