UpdatedDecember 20, 2024

At least two people were killed and several wounded early on December 20 in a massive wave of Russian air strikes on Ukraine’s capital and the southern region of Kherson.

The whole of Ukraine was under a general air-raid alert for several hours as Russia launched eight missiles — including hypersonic Kinzhal missiles and Iskander/KN-23 ballistic missiles — on Kyiv alone, Serhiy Popko, the head of Kyiv’s military administration, reported.

Ukrainian cities and infrastructure continue to sustain regular Russian drone and missile strikes while outgunned and outmanned Ukrainian forces are facing difficulties in staving off Russia’s increasingly rapid advance in the east.
