One person was killed and four others were injured in Kyiv as Russia launched a mass attack on the capital overnight Jan. 24, officials said.

Explosions were first heard at 1:20 a.m. local time, according to Kyiv Independent journalists on the ground, who continued to report blasts throughout the night, including the interception of a ballistic missile.

The Ukrainian Air Force tallied 396 aerial weapons, including 21 missiles and 375 drones. The Air Force mentioned hypersonic “Tsirkon” missiles, ballistic Iskander missiles and Kh-22/Kh-32 cruise missiles.

The attacks continued Russia’s targeting of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, which has resulted in an ongoing winter energy crisis following similar mass attacks the nights of Jan. 9 and Jan. 20.
