Russia reportedly used its Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile against Kyiv Oblast, including Bila Tserkva, during a broader attack on Kyiv. The weapon reportedly releases up to six independent warheads, and about 16 missiles were fired, marking what Kyiv officials describe as the third known Oreshnik strike after Dnipro (Nov 2024) and Lviv (Jan 2026).
The anti-air defence system was not activated in Kyiv Oblast during the flash in the sky on 19 April, and the bright glow was seen even in Belarus. The Air Force was countering drones on the eastern front when the phenomenon was observed. The spokesperson for the Air Force of Ukraine suggested that it was probably a meteor. The Kyiv City Military Administration reported that preliminary reports indicated that the bright flash in the skies over Kyiv was the result of a NASA space satellite falling, but Alpha Centauri reported that it was a meteorite that burned out over Kyiv.
