Let us recall that on the morning of December 20, Russia attacked Kyiv with five Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles, which the enemy launched from the Voronezh and Bryansk regions. The air defense managed to destroy all the missiles, but debris from the downed missiles caused damage and destruction in Goloseevsky, Dneprovsky, Solomensky and Shevchenkovsky.
