Last night, the Russians fired 70 missiles and 611 drones at Ukraine, including more than 60 missiles at Kyiv. The State Emergency Service has already extinguished a fire on the roof of the Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, which broke out following the attack.
According to Ukrinform, President Volodymyr Zelensky reported this on Facebook.
“Efforts to deal with the aftermath of the Russian strikes are ongoing in Kyiv, as well as in Kharkiv. Last night, the Russians launched more than 60 missiles at the capital alone. In total, 70 missiles and 611 drones were used against Ukraine,” Zelensky noted.
He reported that, as of now, there are 28 known wounded and four fatalities in the capital. He expressed his condolences to all the families and loved ones.
“A Russian strike on the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra set the Dormition Cathedral on fire – a church whose history dates back to the 11th century. And this is one of Russia’s most serious crimes against Christian culture to date. The State Emergency Service has already extinguished the fire on the cathedral’s roof,” Zelensky emphasized.
