סכסוכים · Kyiv · ארכיוןOnly One of 27 Russian Ballistic Missiles Intercepted Over Kyiv – Nine Deadנכתב 7 בספטמבר 2026 בשעה 21:22 UTCצפייהתמליל0:00Russian forces launched 220 missiles and0:02drones into Ukrainian territory0:04overnight. The salvo included 270:07ballistic missiles. Ukraine's air0:09defenses shot down exactly one. 260:11warheads reached their targets or0:13exploded near them. Ballistic missiles0:15travel at hypersonic speeds on0:17high-arching trajectories, far harder to0:20shoot down than cruise missiles or0:21drones. The human cost is already0:23concrete. At least nine people are0:25confirmed dead in the capital, Kyiv.0:28More than 30 others were pulled from a0:30burning apartment building. The injury0:32count carries an unresolved discrepancy.0:34Channel 4's own on-air transcript0:36reports at least 17 wounded, while the0:38network's video description says more0:40than 30.0:41Both figures come from the same outlet0:43covering the same attack. A Kyiv0:45resident told Reuters the air raid siren0:47sounded at about 1:30 a.m. Moments0:49later, explosions erupted.0:51This was the second major strike on Kyiv0:53in 3 days.0:55Russia has now demonstrated twice in0:57less than a week that it can penetrate0:58the capital's air defenses with near1:00impunity when it chooses ballistic1:02missiles. The strategic failure is1:04stark. One ballistic missile intercepted1:06out of 27 means a 96% failure rate1:09against Russia's fastest, most1:11destructive weapons. Ukraine's air1:13defense forces now face the urgent1:14question of whether they can close that1:16gap before the next barrage.1:18If they cannot, the next siren sounding1:20again around 1:30 in the morning could1:22bring the same catastrophic interception1:24rate.קריאת הכתבהציר הזמן של הסיפורHeyDexהסרטון הקצר ↗
