Russia has launched an overnight air strike on Kyiv in early hours on Tuesday, Ukraine’s military said, just hours before the start of the NATO summit in Lithuania that is to tackle security threats from Moscow.
In a post on the internet, Serhiy Popko, a head of Kiev’s military administration, said that the enemy attacked Kyiv from the air for the second time this month.
Popko added that Ukraine’s air defence systems shot down all the Iranian-made Shahed drones Russia launched before they reached their targets and there was no immediate information about damage or casualties.
However the summit in Vilnius, which starts today, will be dominated by the repercussions of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with leaders set to approve NATO’s first comprehensive plans since the end of the Cold War to defend against any attack from Moscow.
