Ukrainian air defence assets and personnel have shot down all the targets.

There was no damage or casualties in Kyiv.

Quote from Popko: “We are grateful to the air defence personnel for their reliable protection. However, it’s important to remember that our own safety largely depends on ourselves. Namely, adhering to safety measures — particularly by staying in shelters during threats.”
