Noting that Russia used both cruise and ballistic missiles in the attack, Popko said: “All detected air targets were destroyed by our defense forces and vehicles.”

Stating that the missile fragments caused loss of life and destruction, Popko said: “The fragments fell on a polyclinic and a multi-storey building next to it in the Desna district of the capital. As a result, 3 people lost their lives and almost 10 were injured. “The worst thing is that there are two children among the dead,” he said.
