Tongues of fire pass through the clouds until they reach the goal. The sky over Kiev was illuminated by air defense systems that sprang into action to repel Russian missile attacks. The traces of fire are clearly visible to the naked eye. Not only the capital: for three hours sirens announced air raids throughout Ukraine. According to the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, "15 of the 18 missiles launched by the Russians were destroyed."

None of those heading to Kiev would hit the city.
