Russia may have attacked Kyiv on January 14 with ballistic missiles from north 

Yuriy Ihnat, spokesman for the Air Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, shared the information in a comment to Channel 24. 

According to him, most likely, the missiles were launched on a ballistic trajectory. 

"Most likely, these are missiles that were launched on a ballistic trajectory. From the northern direction. We cannot detect and shoot down ballistics," Ihnat said. 

He clarified that the ballistic trajectory is also used by S-300 missiles, which Russia has launched to attack critical infrastructure facilities in Kharkiv.

"Although the S-300 is an anti-aircraft missile designed to hit air targets, it can be programmed to fly on a ballistic trajectory," Ihnat explained.

He noted that experts will study the debris and determine what type of missile Russia used.

"The best evidence is a missile fragment. Experts can identify these things. Then we will know what type of missile it was," Ihnat said.

• On January 14, Russia launched a missile attack on Kyiv and hit an infrastructure facility, 18 private houses were damaged in the region.
