Russian Shaheed drones surrounded Kyiv, Kh-101 missile hit a residential building: Ignat revealed details of Russian attack.

As the head of the Air Force Communications Department, Colonel Yuriy Ignat, said, 280 out of 440 UAVs launched by Russians at night, were “Shaheeds”.

“And a huge number of these “Shaheeds” simply surrounded Kyiv from different sides, some flew along the Dnieper riverbed, the rest from the east/west direction, attacking the capital in different areas. Therefore, the terrible consequences that we see today are precisely due to the large number,” Ignat said.

According to him, Russian Kh-101 cruise missile hit a residential building in Kyiv.

Information is being updated.
