Putin’s rocket almost hits car in Kyiv

This is the shocking incident when a piece of what looked like a missile touched down on a Kyiv highway.

Video captures the debris falling during a noon hit on the Ukrainian capital on Monday, nearly missing a moving car.

After the wreckage impacted the asphalt and sent smoke plumes into the air, no casualties were recorded.

Hours after launching dozens of drones, Russia unleashed one of its largest aircraft assaults in weeks.

Ending weeks of relative calm in Kyiv, the sky was filled with smoke trails and blast clouds.

Panicked residents, some of whom had initially ignored the air raid sirens as they ate breakfast in cafes, rushed for cover.

All the Russian missiles were shot down, but one person in the Podil district was taken to hospital, authorities said.

Mayor Vitali Klitschko said explosions sounded in the capital’s central districts and emergency services were dispatched.

‘The attack on Kyiv continues. Don’t leave the shelters,’ he wrote on Telegram.

Metro stations across the city were packed with people taking shelter while the air warning lasted.

Russia has increased the frequency of air attacks as Ukraine prepares to launch a counteroffensive.

The attack happened hours before Moscow was targeted by drones that damaged several buildings.

There has been no comment from Kyiv, but on Monday, the head of the Ukrainian military intelligence, General Kyrylo Budanov, warned of a fast response to pre-dawn attacks on the capital.
