What is known about the Russian missile attack on Kyiv on March 25
The Russian occupiers hit Kyiv with two ballistic missiles from the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea. Air defence forces shot them down.
The mayor of the capital, Vitali Klitschko, and the Kyiv administration reported that a non-residential building was destroyed in the Pechersk district, a high-rise building was damaged in the Solomyanskyi district, and debris fell in the Dniproskyi and Holosiivskyi districts.
As of now, there are five victims in the Pechersk district. Two women were treated by medics on the spot, and the other two, including a 16-year-old girl, were hospitalised.
Monitoring groups assume that Kiev was hit by ZM22 "Zirkon" hypersonic missiles, which are launched from vertical launch containers from Crimea.
The project "monitor" writes that this time, several rockets covered the distance of 580 km to the capital in about three minutes, which makes it possible to estimate the speed of the missiles as 11,600 km/h.
