Russia fires 31 missiles at Kyiv, injuring 17<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Russia fired 31 ballistic and cruise missiles at Kyiv on Thursday in the first attack on the Ukrainian capital in 44 days. Air defenses shot down all 31 of the missiles, though the falling wreckage still caused damage to several neighborhoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Podilskyi district, wreckage from intercepted missiles fell in a non-residential area. Firefighters extinguished a fire at a transmission substation that had affected 200 square meters. The roof of a two-story non-residential building caught fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Shevchenkivskyi district, a shock wave from one of the blasts blew out the windows in several apartment buildings. A fire broke out in one of the apartments, people had to be evacuated from the building. Three parked cars caught fire. Falling wreckage fell near a kindergarten and apartment buildings, causing \u201cno negative impact,\u201d officials said. Firefighters extinguished a fire in a private house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Svyatoshynskyi district, missile debris fell on the fourth floor of a nine-story building. A shock wave from a blast blew out the windows. A parked car caught fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six schools and kindergartens were damaged in the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least 13 people were injured in different parts of Kyiv. An 11-year-old girl was among four people taken to hospital, city officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the surrounding Kyiv region, four people were injured. The strike damaged sixty-nine private houses, five apartment buildings, and two schools there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine\u2019s air force said Russia launched 29 Kh-101\/Kh-555 cruise missiles from 11 Tu-95MS strategic bombers and two ballistic missiles \u2013 an Iskander-M or a closely resembling North Korean KN-23 missile, and a Kh-47M2 Kinzhal missile. Ukraine\u2019s air defenses destroyed all 31 of the missiles that Russia sent against the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chairman of NATO\u2019s military committee arrives in Kyiv for first time since invasion<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Chair of the NATO Military Committee, Admiral Rob Bauer visited Kyiv on Thursday. \u201cMy visit \u2500 the first NATO military delegation to visit Ukraine since the large-scale invasion \u2500 is testament to the fact that NATO and Ukraine are closer than they have ever been,\u201d Bauer said, speaking at the Kyiv Security Forum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am grateful for the opportunity to travel to Ukraine in person and to meet with your political and military leadership,\u201d he said. \u201cIt allows me to express my deep respect for the courage and strength you have displayed, both on and off the battlefield.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTogether, we are putting everything into place to make Ukraine a member of our Alliance. The Swedish flag will not be the only blue and yellow flag at the NATO headquarters,\u201d Bauer said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a discussion that followed his speech, he noted: \u201cYou don\u2019t only need new grenades, tanks, and armored vehicles, unfortunately, you also need new soldiers, because soldiers die and get wounded. And then you talk about mobilization, conscription and all the things that are being discussed and that are difficult for a nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not easy in a democracy, in a liberal economy to convince people. But I see there is a change,\u201d the chairman of the alliance\u2019s military committee added. Bauer also said that Ukraine\u2019s allies should not be too pessimistic about its ability to repel Russian troops. He also urged the allies to continue to support Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia\u2019s gains in Donetsk region slow, British defence intelligence says<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Russian forces\u2019 gains in the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk have slowed in recent weeks, according to the latest British defence intelligence update, and that\u2019s likely partially due to heavy losses sustained in the campaign to seize Avdiyivka. \u201cThey have attempted to expand areas of control north-west of Donetsk city and are highly likely contesting a string of villages including Orlivka, Tonenke, Pervomaiske, and Nevelske,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe situation remains unstable, with Ukrainian shortages of personnel and munitions likely limiting their ability to hold positions,\u201d the UK\u2019s defence intelligence said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRussian forces have highly likely been making efforts to increase and improve their employment of maskirovka techniques [camouflage and deception techniques] to mitigate the heavy losses sustained over the past two years in both the Black Sea Fleet and Aerospace Forces,\u201d a previous update said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
