On the night of 29 May, just 18 hours after the previous attack, Russia launched another attack on Kyiv. It was the fifteenth in May.

The enemy launched Shahed attack drones and, almost simultaneously, air-launched cruise missiles from the Caspian Sea. So the attack on the capital was a combined attack from different directions, the head of the Kyiv city military administration, Serhiy Popko, has said.

"In total, our air defence forces and equipment detected and destroyed more than 40 air targets. All attacks on Kyiv were prevented! We thank the air defence for their excellent work! As a result of the falling debris in Podilskyy district, the roof of a residential building was damaged, with no casualties. There is no information on casualties so far. The data in the operational report is being updated and clarified," he said.
