Two Ballistic Missiles Fall Near Kyiv Residential Buildings Without Exploding, Neutralized
Two ballistic missiles fired by Russian forces fell near residential buildings in Kyiv without exploding, Ukrainian authorities reported. The city's explosive ordnance disposal units were immediately dispatched and successfully neutralized both munitions.
The incident occurred during a broader Russian missile and drone campaign targeting the Ukrainian capital. Residents of the affected buildings were temporarily evacuated as a precautionary measure during the neutralization operation.
The failure of the missiles to detonate prevented what could have been a catastrophic attack on civilian infrastructure. Ukrainian officials noted that Russian strikes on Kyiv have intensified in recent weeks.
