"Ukraine Under Attack: Russian Missiles Strike Kyiv and Central Targets"

Ukrainian forces claim to have shot down a Russian Kinzhal hypersonic missile, which is touted as "invincible" by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The missile was reportedly shot down over Kyiv during Russian aerial strikes. This comes as a boost for Ukrainian troops who have been increasingly targeted by Russian missile strikes. The Kinzhal is a hypersonic missile capable of reaching speeds greater than Mach 10 and carrying a conventional or nuclear payload. This is not the first time Ukraine has claimed to shoot down the Kinzhal, as they previously claimed to have shot down six missiles using Patriot missile defense systems. Germany has recently delivered a second Patriot air defense system to Ukraine, fulfilling their demand for additional defense systems.
