Moment missile hits Kyiv on New Year’s Eve caught on newly released CCTV footage

Newly released CCTV footage from the National Palace of Arts of Ukraine showed the moment a Russian missile hit the Alfavit hotel in Kyiv on 31 December 2022, badly damaging it and a residential building. The impact of the explosion was felt at the Palace of Arts building itself as CCTV video showed windows and doors being blown out and people running to take cover. Russia fired more than 20 cruise missiles at targets in Ukraine on the last day of 2022, killing at least one person and injuring more than a dozen in what Ukraine’s human rights commissioner, Dmytro Lubinets, described as “terror on New Year’s Eve”. Ukraine also fired missiles at Russian targets, hitting a temporary deployment point in Makiivka, a town in the eastern region of Donetsk partially held by separatists since 2014.
