Ukraine: ``Two ballistic missiles shot down, 10 injured by debris''
The Russian military fired two ballistic missiles at the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, and local authorities say 10 people have been injured by debris from the missiles.
It has also been reported that the Russian military has used a new type of missile that is said to be hypersonic, and Ukraine is on high alert.
The Ukrainian Air Force announced on the 25th that the Russian military launched an attack on the capital, Kiiv, with two ballistic missiles from the unilaterally annexed Crimea in southern Ukraine and shot them down.
According to Ukraine's Emergency Situation Agency, fragments of ballistic missiles have fallen into the city, injuring 10 people, including a 16-year-old woman.
Witness: “After the explosion sound, the air defense alarm went off for only about 5 to 10 seconds.”
At the site in the central Pechersk district, debris fell on a three-story educational building, causing it to be severely damaged.
A security camera installed at a nearby coffee shop captured the moment the incident occurred, and the footage shows strong lights flashing inside the store, customers and staff hunched over, and glass flying from the windows. The photo shows him knocking over glass containers that were on the counter.
A female store clerk said, ``First I heard an explosion, and then I heard an air raid alarm. It only lasted about 5 to 10 seconds. It was very scary.''
In Kivu, in most cases there is time to evacuate after an air raid warning is issued, but in this attack, residents said they did not have time to evacuate.
Local media have reported that the Russian military used a new type of sea-launched missile called the Tsirkon, which is said to be a hypersonic missile, raising concerns.
On the evening of the 25th, there was a missile attack by the Russian military in the southern province of Odesa, and according to the local governor, three people were injured and more than 300,000 households were without power, due to the Russian military attack. The influence is spreading.
