Sirens sounded in the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, and across most of the territory of Ukraine, which officials called the latest wave of Russian missile attacks.

“The missiles have already been launched,” Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ignat said.

There are currently no reports of damage or casualties.

“Do not ignore the alarm signal,” said the head of the OAP Andriy Yermak.

In recent weeks, Russian forces have increasingly attacked Ukrainian energy facilities as they have faced setbacks on the battlefield, leading to severe blackouts as winter approaches.
