Scott StedmanEarly reports that Kyiv was unable to launch air defenses before 6 rockets struck city infrastructure.
Something went really wrong militarily for this to happen. Eyewitness reports suggest major damage to energy infrastructure and power outages.

@scottmstedman Maybe missiles ran out. For IRIS-T at least, there shouldn't be many left.
@scottmstedman There has been a report of aircraft taking off at Kyiv; this would be in line with an attempt to intercept the incoming using air-top-air missiles. And that would suggest that there is insufficient ground-based air defence.
