Ukrainian forces said they thwarted a Russian missile attack on the capital, Kyiv, where air raid sirens sounded before dawn on Sunday.
“This is the third ballistic missile attack on the capital in August, with a clear interval of six days between each attack,” the Kyiv City Military Administration posted on Telegram after the early morning barrage.
Simultaneously with the missile attack, drones were spotted heading to Kyiv.
“All enemy drones were destroyed far outside the city,” it added.
No damage or casualties were reported from the attack, which the administration said had “most likely used North Korean ballistic missiles of the KN-23 type.”
The United States and Seoul have accused North Korea of providing ammunition and missiles to Russia for its war in Ukraine.
