Adequate air defences. Our ukraine correspondent James Waterhouse has more on this. Kyiv has been heavily fortified, if you like, in terms of air defences, with the supply of western Patriot Missile systems, which have proven to be incredibly effective against russian air attacks. However, Russian Forces have adapted as well. So, what we see now are slightly less often, less frequent attacks, but they are at a much greater scale. As you say, last night, russia launched 22 missiles, 1a drones, and they are designed to overwhelm air defences. But when we are talking about eastern cities like zaporizhzhia, dnipro, odesa in the south, which was also attacked, they are less well defended, and missiles get through.

Sources, both israeli and american sources, confirming this was indeed an israeli strike. Now, all weak people have been on tenterhooks waiting for some kind of response. It was made very clear by israeli officials they did not think they could let it pass. That was after an unprecedented direct attack from iran on israeli territory last weekend. It was really the form of response that was in question and when it would happen. People wondering if the state of uncertainty would continue through the upcoming jewish passover holiday, for example. We have had some ministers coming out, particularly the National Security minister, who is known as a firebrand and on the far right, he had previously been calling for israel to go crazy in its response to restore its deterrent in the region. He said this response appears to be too limited. He is the only major official we are hearing from at the moment. Others are keeping extremely quiet about all of this. ,. ,. ,. , this.
