Massive Air Attack: Russia Launches 60 Missiles At Ukraine

An air alert has been declared in all regions.

On Friday, December 16, the morning for Ukraine began with an air-raid alert. It was declared in all regions following the launch of missiles by the Russians.

Ukrainians are urged not to ignore the air-raid alert because Russia is launching missiles with the help of strategic aviation. Vitaliy Kim, head of the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration, warned of this:

"The first missiles are coming in. We do not ignore the alarm".

Kim later added that about 60 Russian missiles are expected to be launched. "We expect about 60 ones. Some are already over Ukrainian territory in the north. I also think our air defence will shoot down 50+ at least," he wrote.

For his part, the chairman of the Zhytomyr Regional Military Administration, Vitaliy Bunechko, warned of the threat of a massive missile strike.
