On the night of September 2, Russian occupiers attacked Kyiv with ballistic missiles. Several groups of missiles approached the Ukrainian capital in waves.

Simultaneously with the approach of the cruise missiles to the city, the invaders launched ballistic missiles KN-24/Iskander-M at Kyiv and the suburbs.
