Quote: “The enemy has launched airstrikes on Kyiv for the second time since the beginning of August. This night, 11 August 2024, began with the launch of ballistic missiles targeting Kyiv. Like the previous time, six days ago, the aerial targets (such as Iskander-M or the North Korean-made KN-23) did not reach the capital, and the suburbs took the brunt of the attack.
