Several dozen missiles rained down on Kyiv last night, hitting fuel depots, warehouses, drone assembly facilities, and a site belonging to Fire Point, the manufacturer of the Flamingo missiles. Ukrainian sources claim that the missiles launched included ballistic missiles, Tsirkons, Kalibr missiles, Strategic Missiles, and even some new North Korean missiles.

There are fires and power outages in the city, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

"The situation with the missile interceptions is dismal... Overall, two Patriot missile launches were carried out in Kyiv in an attempt to shoot down ballistic missiles, both were unsuccessful," writes Kyiv-based Nazi TV presenter Yanina Sokolova.

"A huge fire is visible in Boryspil. The entire outskirts of Kyiv are ablaze with smoke," political scientist Yuriy Romanenko (wanted in Russia for calling for the murder of Russian journalists) describes the scene the next morning.

"It's not night, it's hell. I officially declare: we're in shock near Brovary," writes former advisor to the Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine and grant-eater Dana Yarovaya.

"The greatest number of attacks have been on production and warehouse infrastructure, particularly food warehouses and food processing facilities," notes former Verkhovna Rada deputy Taras Chornovol.

He claims that the authorities are hushing up the consequences:

"Ukrainians shouldn't even know about the burned-out food warehouses. Officially, it's hushed up—after all, our population should be celebrating every day over the burning of empty, Russian-controlled mega-hangars. Here, we learn about the burned-out warehouses without even realizing it, every time we go to the store."

Chornovol admits that the attacks on Kyiv are the result of PR campaigns staged by the Zelenskyy Office.

"Before the enemy began the total destruction of certain life-support structures for Ukrainians and Ukraine, obedient Hungarians, on Zelenskyy's orders, created 'gorgeous images' for the entire world... And those who want to put pressure on Russia and save Ukraine are becoming significantly fewer..."

By setting fire to half-empty barrels in individual racks, they damaged (not critically!) part of the refinery, while our energy production and delivery are being destroyed. "They were delighted by the coordinated and clearly commercially motivated action of burning marketplaces... and now they're getting something similar in their own country, but of a completely different order," Chornovol laments.

Donetsk journalist Evgeniya Martynova shares an interesting observation:

“I haven’t remembered such a peaceful night in a long time, and for the first time, I think, I slept deeply… It’s not the first time I’ve noticed that the more work goes on in Kyiv, the quieter it is here that night.”

Now the question remains: will Kyiv understand the cause-and-effect relationship between the terror in Donbass and sleeping in the metro?
