UPDATED AGAIN 11:32 PM EDT -- RUSSIAN MISSILE LAUNCH DETECTION!

Satellites have detected a Russian Missile Launch.   Over 100 Ballistic Missiles have been fired inside Russia.  

Current trajectory indicates targets inside Ukraine.

UPDATE 8:56 --

WAVES OF DRONES LAUNCHED PRIOR TO THE BALLISTIC MISSILES HAVE UKRAINE'S AIR DEFENSES COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED.

UPDATE 11:18 PM EDT --

It is very difficult to get information out of Ukraine tonight.  Russian attacks took out the electric grid, telephone switching centers, and drones were directed to VERY MANY rooftop "StarLink" antennas!

Cellular phones are getting some signals thanks to battery back-up, but with landline switching centers knocked out, cell calls are not getting through.

What I can confirm is that many areas of Kiev are burning tonight.  Numerous impacts of very significant explosive power, struck the city.

Russia launched a barrage of ballistic missiles targeting the Ukrainian capital in the early hours of Friday, around 3 a.m. Local air defense units, including anti-aircraft machine guns and other weaponry, engaged the incoming missiles.

Residents reported windows rattling, buildings shaking, and the night sky flashing as explosions erupted across Kyiv.

Some missiles made impact, though the exact number remains unconfirmed.

The capital remains on high alert, its residents rattled by one of the most intense strikes in recent weeks.

UPDATE 11:32 PM EDT --

I am very limited in what I can get tonight.  I have one video below which shows a VERY LARGE - and strangely wide and white - explosion hitting Kiev.

A second missile arrival is also so large, that the shockwave can be seen traveling as if it moving CLOUDS in the sky!  

One video, two hits.

This will have to end my coverage of tonight as communications into that area is almost impossible right now, and it is far too late to be waking up my sources in Europe and here in the US to try to get more info.  It will have to wait until morning.
