Russia’s overnight missile strike on Kyiv caused “material damage” to the Portuguese embassy.

Moscow fired a salvo of missiles at the Ukrainian capital early in the morning, targeting missile production plants and a Ukrainian military command post, according to the Russian defence ministry. 

“The Portuguese government vehemently condemns the attacks in Kyiv this morning, which caused material damage to several diplomatic missions, including the Portuguese Embassy,” Lisbon said in a statement posted to X.

Six diplomatic missions suffered damaged in the attack on the centre of the Ukrainian capital, Ukraine’s foreign ministry said.

The ministry said that the Albanian, Argentine, North Macedonian, Palestinian, Portuguese and Montenegrin missions were damaged.

Kyiv said that the assault involved ballistic missiles and several dozen drones, most of which they intercepted.

Moscow claimed that the attack was retaliation for a strike by Ukraine on a chemical plant in Russia on the previous day.
