Three people killed and 20 wounded as missiles and drones strike Ukrainian capital
Russia launched an intense missile and drone barrage at Kyiv overnight, killing four people, after Vladimir Putin had vowed to respond to Operation Spiderweb.
Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said on Friday that Russia had launched more than 400 drones and more than 40 missiles at the country, as he urged allies to build pressure on the Kremlin to end its war.
“If someone does not put pressure and gives the war more time to take lives, they are complicit and responsible. We need to act decisively,” Zelenskyy wrote in a post on social media.
Ukrainian, living in Kyiv (have lived in other cities too).
It does seem that Kyiv has by far the best AA defence systems in the country. For what it’s worth, I’d rather they target Kyiv if that helps blunt the impact of the attacks.
That being said, it’s not fun to have constant shockwaves and loud noises from explosions/takedowns all night. Not to mention the risk of death/getting wounded and/or having your apartment be heavily damaged.
Best option would be if all regions could have an AA defence comparable to Kyiv, but unfortunately that’s not possible.
I wishing for a restful night for you. 🙏
Thanks man!
Let’s how tonight goes.
