Kiev, 13 November 2024 (dpa/MIA) - The Russian military has attacked the Ukrainian capital Kiev with missiles and drones, in the first such combined attack for months, according to the Ukrainian military.

The head of the military administration, Serhiy Popko, said on Wednesday that several missiles and drones were shot down during the attack.

In the district of Brovary, east of Kiev, one person was slightly injured by falling rocket debris and one building was destroyed by a fire, the authorities said.

According to the Ukrainian air force, two cruise missiles of the type Ch-101 and two Iskander ballistic missiles were intercepted. In addition, 37 of 90 combat drones were shot down across the country.

Forty-seven others dropped off radar, mostly due to the use of electronic countermeasures.

Two more drones are believed to have left Ukrainian airspace in the direction of Russia and Belarus.

Ukraine has been defending itself against the Russian invasion for almost 1,000 days.
