During a massive missile attack on January 26, Russia hit objects in Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia with hypersonic Kindzhals.

The spokesman of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yurii Ignat stated this on the air of the telethon.

"They donʼt have enough of these missiles, they save them for hitting strategic targets. This time, the strategic goal is one of the objects in Zaporizhzhia and one of the objects of Kyivʼs energy infrastructure," Ignat noted.
