Russian forces launched a large-scale air strike on Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, with multiple missiles hitting their targets.

Yesterday, the Russian military launched another large-scale air strike on Ukraine, with Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, remaining the main target. Residents of Kyiv captured stunning footage of Russian cruise missiles hitting their targets one after another, with at least five or six missiles hitting the target. The Ukrainian side stated that the Russians fired at least 13 "Iskander"-K cruise missiles at Kyiv, instead of the previously commonly used KH-101.

The "Iskander"-K cruise missile is a subsonic cruise missile that can maneuver in the terminal stage. The official range is 480 kilometers, but the actual range may exceed 600 kilometers. It can be launched from the Iskander-M launcher (shared system with ballistic missile type), which enhances deployment flexibility. The preparation time for launch is short (about 4-16 minutes), making it suitable for a "hit and run" tactic.
