Correction for Kyiv:
No Iskander-M ballistic missiles were launched to the city. Only modified S-400 ballistic missiles were used.
Most of them were shot down by Patriot interceptors, but Iām still clarifying the exact interception rate. Modified S-400 missiles are much easier to shoot down than Iskander-Ms.

A few hours before this attack, I reported that Russia may carry out a smaller attack on Kyiv aimed at wasting newly-delivered Ukrainian Patriot PAC-3 interceptor missiles, before launching a large-scale attack in the days after.
It appears that this has indeed happened. Russia launched 9 modified S-400 ballistic missiles from Bryansk Oblast to Kyiv. Ukraine launched a total of 9 PAC-3 interceptor missiles - one for each Russian missile, and managed to shoot down 8 of them. One of the S-400s impacted its target.
The reason for the high interception rate is because modified S-400 missiles are much easier to shoot down than Iskander-M ballistic missiles. They also have low accuracy, and sometimes miss their targets.
Therefore, Russia was able to get Ukraine to launch 9 interceptors from their new small package of Patriots that was delivered this week, without having to use a single Iskander-M ballistic missile. Because of this, there is a high threat of a larger-scale Iskander-M and Zircon attack on Kyiv in the coming days, especially this weekend. Ukraine does not currently have sufficient Patriot interceptor stockpiles to counter such an attack, especially after tonight.
