Russia launched a combined drone and missile attack on Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast overnight on Nov. 13, authorities said.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported explosions and active air defenses in the capital at around 7:20 a.m.
A 48-year-old man suffered head injuries in Kyiv Oblast as a result of fallen debris. A fire also broke out in a warehouse in the Brovary district near Kyiv, the regional military administration and the State Emergency Service said.
Russia attacked the city with air-launched cruise missiles, as well as Iskander-M or North Korean KN-23/24 ballistic missiles. Attack drones like Shaheds or Gerans were also deployed, authorities said.
Ukrainian air defenses reportedly shot down "several cruise missiles and ballistic missiles and up to 10 drones."
The Air Force later clarified that two Kh-101 cruise missiles, two Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles, and 37 of the 90 launched drones were downed over the Kyiv, Poltava, Zhytomyr, and other oblast overnight. Some 47 drones were "lost" across Ukraine, and two flew to Belarus and Russia, according to the statement.
"This morning, Russia launched yet another combined attack on our cities, and our air defense responded effectively," President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
"It is crucial that our forces have the necessary means to defend the country from Russian terror... Timely delivery of interceptor missiles for our air defense, fulfilling agreements on defense systems, and electronic warfare production and supply are, without exaggeration, lifesaving efforts."
The Kyiv City Military Administration said that power shortages may be introduced as a preventative measure as Russia continues to attack energy infrastructure ahead of the upcoming winter months.
The capital has been bracing for intensified missile strikes with the coming winter. Russia previously launched a combined missile and drone strike on Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast on Nov. 8 for the first time since early September.
In turn, Kyiv has been subjected to drone attacks on a regular basis in the past two months. Experts have previously told the Kyiv Independent this could be a tactic to wear down air defenses ahead of a mass-missile strike targeting the country's already battered civilian energy infrastructure.
