Kyiv shot down 44 Russian cruise missiles during ‘massive’ strike

Ukraine shot down 44 of the more than 50 Russian cruise missiles launched at the country today, officials have said.

“Forty four cruise missiles were destroyed by the forces and means of the Air Force,”  the Airforce Command said. “Glory to Ukraine.”

They added that the weapons were Kh-101 and Kh-555 cruise missiles launched from a Tu-95 and Tu-160 bombers.

Regional authorities across Ukraine reported missile strikes on critical infrastructure overnight, with some 80 per cent of Kyiv residents being left without water.

“Russian losers continue waging war on civilian facilities,” Andriy Yermak, President Volodymyr Zelensky’s chief of staff, said.
