For the first time in over two months, Russia launched a coordinated missile and drone attack on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. On Wednesday morning, sirens sounded for hours across the city as defensive forces engaged in intercepting multiple projectiles.

The Ukrainian president further expressed gratitude to the country's partners for the "timely delivery of interceptor missiles for their air defence."

Blasts boomed across Kyiv on Wednesday morning after officials said Russia launched its first missile attack on the Ukrainian capital since August.
