Multiple explosions were heard in the capital, in the latest scare for residents. Missile debris damaged homes in two districts and a gym in another district of the city. Ukraine has been appealing to its allies for months for greater air defence capabilities as Russia steps up its attacks across the country. The attack on Monday came after almost a dozen people were wounded in a Russian drone strike on southern Ukraine overnight, and a fire broke out at a main Russian power plant following a Ukrainian drone strike. Russia launched missiles against Kyiv for the third time in five days, part of an apparent escalation of the aerial bombardment of Ukrainian cities as the war stretches into its third year with the front line largely stationary. Is this a retaliatory attack to Moscow’s terror attack ?
