Moscow said the strikes targeted military-industrial facilities and logistics hubs in and around the Ukrainian capital<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Kiev and its suburbs were reportedly struck by dozens of missiles in multiple waves early on Saturday morning,\u00a0following Russian strikes earlier this week\u00a0on military-industrial facilities in the Ukrainian capital.<\/p>\n

The Russian Defense Ministry said its forces carried out another large-scale combined strike overnight using high-precision ground- and sea-launched weapons and long-range attack drones.<\/p>\n

The strikes targeted Ukrainian defense industry enterprises and logistics centers in Kiev and the surrounding region involved in the \u201cproduction, storage and delivery of various types of missiles, drones, radar systems, and electronic-warfare equipment,\u201d<\/em><\/em>\u00a0the ministry said.<\/p>\n

The first blasts in Kiev were heard shortly after 1 AM local time, with further explosions reported in several waves through 3 AM. Videos shared on social media show blasts and successive fires across the Ukrainian capital, but the exact locations and types of facilities hit are difficult to verify.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian authorities tightly restrict information about strike sites and penalize those who share footage of impacts. However, another video shared by a witness purportedly shows Kiev\u2019s air defenses attempting \u2013 and apparently failing \u2013 to intercept the incoming missiles with US-made Patriot systems.<\/p>\n

Kiev Mayor Vitaly Klitschko reported multiple fires at residential buildings and unspecified \u201cnon-residential\u201d<\/em>\u00a0industrial facilities in at least four districts. He also claimed that at least three people were killed and more than a dozen injured.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to open-source intelligence trackers, the strikes targeted several industrial zones near the CHP-5 power plant and facilities belonging to Ukraine\u2019s state-owned defense conglomerate Ukroboronprom.<\/p>\n

The new raid attack came just 48 hours after Russian forces targeted the Mayak plant in Kiev, which produces components for FP-1 and FP-2 kamikaze drones, as well as another drone plant in the Ukrainian capital.<\/p>\n

Thursday\u2019s strikes, according to the ministry, also targeted airfields, defense-industry facilities, telecommunications infrastructure and logistics hubs in Lviv, as well as in the regions of Ivano-Frankivsk, Zhitomir, Rovno, Vinnitsa, and Dnepropetrovsk.<\/p>\n

Moscow maintains that it targets only military and dual-use installations in response to Ukraine\u2019s indiscriminate \u201cterrorist attacks.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Ukraine has intensified its attacks on Russian civilian infrastructure and commercial vessels since Vladimir Zelensky announced a 40-day \u201cpressure campaign\u201d<\/em> against Moscow last month. Ukrainian officials have said the campaign is intended to damage the Russian economy and make the public feel the effects of the conflict more directly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
