Five districts of Kyiv were struck. In particular, the enemy targeted various sites with ballistic missiles. Thanks to the work of our air defense, all five ballistic missiles were shot down,&#8221; Yevlash said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yevlash said that despite this success, falling debris from intercepted missiles caused secondary detonations, damaging infrastructure and civilian buildings in residential areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Our air defense is doing everything possible, but due to the proximity of the launch areas, people have only a few minutes to seek shelter,&#8221; Yevlash said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He urged citizens to heed air raid alerts: &#8220;Even if all missiles are intercepted, blast waves still pose a severe threat to life and health. Do not ignore air raid sirens &#8212; take shelter immediately.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One person was killed, and nine others were injured in Kyiv during Friday morning&#8217;s missile attack.<br><br><strong>Read also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/nasams-f-35-deployed-in-rzeszow-poland-to-protect-aid-hub-for-ukraine\/\">NASAMS, F-35 deployed in Rzeszow, Poland, to protect aid hub for Ukraine<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the early hours of December 20, Russian forces launched a massive &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":1063272,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,36415],"tags":[78],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-1063268","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-11473-news-en","tag-homepage-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
