The attack signaled an air alert, which Ukraine\u2019s Ministry of Defense called \u201cone of the most intense attacks on the capital city since the invasion.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Russia Contradicts Ukrainian Government\u2019s Report<\/h3>\n<p>Russia\u2019s Defense Ministry said on Tuesday in a post on Telegram that a precision strike by a hypersonic Kinzhal missile had destroyed a Patriot air defense system in Kyiv, contradicting the Ukrainian government\u2019s report.<\/p>\n<h3>Russian Ministry Officials Confirm Attack<\/h3>\n<p>In a daily briefing on Tuesday reported by RT, Russian ministry officials confirmed the attack, stating that Russia had used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/despite-criticism-marines-committed-to-new-force-design\/\" title=\"Despite Criticism, Marines Committed to New Force Design\">long-range precision weapons<\/a> to strike military targets, including \u201cUkrainian troops positions and places of storage of munitions, weapons and military hardware delivered from Western nations.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Russian Defense Minister Denies Ukraine\u2019s Claims<\/h3>\n<p>Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu denied Ukraine\u2019s claims to Russian state media, saying, \u201cThe Russian Federation has not launched as many \u2018Kinzhals\u2019 as they allegedly shoot down every time when making their statements.\u201d He added Ukraine\u2019s number of intercept attempts was \u201cthree times more than [the missiles] we are launching.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Senior Ukrainian Military Source Speaks Out<\/h3>\n<p>A senior Ukrainian military source told The Telegraph that officials \u201cwere happy to let Russia believe it succeeded in striking the air defense system.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Patriot Air Defense System: Designed in the 1970s<\/h3>\n<p>Ukraine currently has two Patriot air defense systems \u2014 one donated by the U.S. and one jointly donated by Germany and the Netherlands.
