Ukrainian forces shot down 18 of 18 missiles Russia fired at the capital of Kyiv on Tuesday, using U.S.-made Patriot missiles to bolster the city's defenses.
Russian forces launched the missiles from land, air and sea, creating an attack that was "exceptional in its density — the maximum number of attacking missiles in the shortest period of time," according to Serhii Popko, the head of the Kyiv military administration.
