Kyiv Faces New Wave of Missile Attacks, Marking a Dangerous Turn in the War

Russia has resumed missile attacks on Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, after a two-month lull in such strikes. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russia launched a coordinated missile assault targeting Kyiv and the northeastern border region on Wednesday.

According to The New York Times, this marked the end of the capital’s over two-month-long relative calm.

As air raid sirens wailed early in the morning, Kyiv residents sought shelter in bunkers. Ukrainian air defenses detected 96 incoming aerial threats. Four missiles were directed at Kyiv, with two identified as short-range projectiles launched from the northeastern border area. The remaining targets were primarily unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Initially, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense claimed that the intercepted missiles were North Korean-supplied Hwasong ballistic missiles. However, the Ukrainian Air Force later corrected the assessment, identifying the missiles as Russian-made Iskander ballistic missiles.

While no fatalities were reported, local authorities confirmed one injury resulting from a fire ignited by missile debris on Kyiv’s outskirts.

Recent Russian attacks on Kyiv have been limited to drone strikes. The reintroduction of missile attacks represents an escalation of tensions in the region.

Before this incident, Russia’s last missile strike on Ukrainian territory occurred on September 3, when an attack on a military academy in Poltava, approximately 210 miles east of Kyiv, reportedly claimed over 50 lives.

In a separate incident on the same day, Russian officials reported that a high-ranking naval officer was killed by an explosive device planted beneath a vehicle in Sevastopol, Crimea. While the officer’s identity remains undisclosed, Russian authorities have classified the event as a terrorist act and launched an investigation.
