Footage showing Ukrainian air defence shooting down 3 Russian Kh-101 cruise missiles just south of Kyiv. These missiles were intended to strike energy infrastructure in the city, but were shot down before they could enter the city limits. Considering the 5 Iskander-M interceptions earlier, this means that for what might be the first time ever, every single Russian missile that attacked Kyiv City was shot down.
