Russian missile and drone attacks on Kyiv thwarted, says Ukraine

Ukrainian forces say they succeeded in warding off overnight missile and drone attacks targeting Kyiv.

"This is the third ballistic missile attack on the capital in August with a clear interval of six days between each attack," the Kyiv City Military Administration posted on Telegram.

No damage or casualties were reported from the missile attack. The administration said Russian forces had "most likely used North Korean ballistic missiles of the KN-23 type."

"All enemy drones were destroyed far outside the city," it added.
