Russia launched missiles and drones at Ukraine overnight on Thursday (August 27), with the capital Kyiv and other cities coming under a massive attack, Ukrainian authorities said.

In the surrounding region, two people were injured as Russian missile and drone attacks caused a fire in warehouse premises and damaged other warehouses, as well as private houses, the regional governor said.

Ukraine's air force said the barrage included two Oniks anti-ship cruise missiles, 258 drones and an unspecified number of ballistic missiles.

The air force said that nearly 90% of the drones were downed, as well as one Oniks and seven ballistic missiles.

Russia has escalated its air strikes on Ukraine in recent months, with Kyiv short of U.S.-made Patriot interceptors capable of downing ballistic missiles.
