In the early hours of Sept. 26, explosions rocked Kyiv following an air raid alert, with Ukraine’s Air Force confirming Russia’s use of a Mig-31K aircraft carrying Kinzhal ballistic missiles. Thankfully, no damage or casualties were reported. Oddly, air defense systems failed during the alert, as later acknowledged by Kyiv City Military Administration. Additionally, nearby Starokostiantyniv witnessed explosions, alarming residents due to its proximity to a Ukrainian air base. Despite over 15 drones spotted near Kyiv overnight, air defenses successfully downed most of them, preventing any harm. Debris from intercepted drones even caused a fire, though initial reports of injuries were later retracted. It’s a stark reminder of the ongoing tensions in the region, highlighting the importance of vigilance and preparedness. Stay informed and support journalism that sheds light on these crucial developments.
