Ukraine

Russia launched an “exceptional” intense attack on Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, Tuesday, launching drones, cruise missiles and presumably ballistic missiles, according to several Ukrainian officials after what became the eighth air strike on Kyiv in May alone. Serhiy Popko, the head of Kyiv’s military administration, said the attack was the “highest number of missile strikes so far in the shortest time frame” “It was exceptional in its density,” Popko wrote on the messaging service Telegram. Sirens and explosions began to sound around 03:30 on the night of Tuesday.
