The attack, which was launched from the north, was the 820th strike on Kyiv since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began.

"The eighth attack in a row by Shahed barrage munitions on Kyiv [occured last night]. It was a mass strike again, the same as yesterday. Up to 15 aerial targets were identified and eliminated by Ukrainian air defense units," the administration reported.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
