At this time, the anti-aircraft units of this Eastern European country were activated in several regions. They carried out these attacks in different places across Ukraine on Friday midnight. Kharab Reuters. According to reports, an airstrike warning was extended to all regions of Ukraine for about an hour from 2:00 a.m. on Thursday.

But there were no reports of attacks on infrastructure or civilian targets, and there were no indications of casualties as the attack alert was lifted in Kiev and central and southern regions. However, an airstrike warning remained in effect in parts of eastern Ukraine and across western Ukraine until early Friday morning. The Ukrainian military said in a telegram that Russian aircraft were in the air and there was a threat of attack from hypersonic Kinzol missiles. An earlier military statement said some airborne targets had been destroyed, but did not elaborate. The military also said central areas of Ukraine were vulnerable to drone strikes.

Explosions were reported in several regions, including Kryvyi Rih in central Ukraine, Rivne and Lutsk in the west. Kiev officials said anti-aircraft units were operating in the capital. Other cities have reported similar anti-aircraft units being active. Russia's Tass news agency, citing Russian-controlled officials in the Moscow-controlled Donetsk region, said Ukrainian forces fired eight cruise missiles into the Russian-controlled city of Donetsk after midnight. However, there were no reports of damage or casualties in the attack. In addition, Reuters could not immediately verify these information or details of military activities.

Earlier on Thursday, Russia launched a new missile attack on the capital of Ukraine, Kiev. In addition to Kiev, Russian forces also fired missiles at the Black Sea port city of Odessa. At least one person was killed. However, the Ukrainian army claims to have intercepted the missiles fired at Kiev. However, debris from the crashed missile hit a multi-storey building and caught fire. Before this, the Russian forces launched an "unprecedented" missile attack on Kiev from air, sea and land last Monday. The next day, the country's Ministry of Defense said that the Patriot air defense system sent by the United States had been destroyed by firing a hypersonic Kinzhal missile at Kiev.
