Ukraine’s air force said Russia launched 452 drones overnight as well as 45 missiles, including cruise and ballistic missiles. They struck the capital, Kyiv, and Ukrainian cities throughout the country, hitting apartment buildings, administrative buildings, commercial warehouses and cafes.<\/p>\n

Explosions lasted for hours overnight in the Ukrainian capital as several fires were reported from the attacks.<\/p>\n

NPR’s Kyiv bureau heard drones buzzing over the neighborhood as well as the blasts from anti-aircraft units and clips of heavy machine guns from Ukraine’s mobile air defense teams firing trying to shoot down the drones.<\/p>\n
