What's going on? We'll just have to wait and see, but this is close to the date that the major battle in Donbass is projected to launch. The spate of missile attacks could be RU military telling UKR defenders of those cities to stay in place because they could be next. Just a wild guess.
UPDATE
A little clarity from this breaking news report from Sputnik:
This explains at least the explosions in Kiev:
On Thursday, two Ukrainian combat helicopters crossed into Russian airspace and made at least six strikes at residential buildings in the Bryansk Region.Moscow will ramp up the scale of its missile strikes targeting objects in Kiev in response to any attacks or sabotage on the territory of Russia, Russian defence ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said on Friday."The number and scale of missile strikes against targets in Kiev will increase in response to the commission by the Kiev nationalist regime of any attacks of a terrorist nature or sabotage on the Russian territory," Konashenkov told reporters.The spokesman said that high-precision Kalibr cruise missiles hit a military facility on the outskirts of Kiev overnight. As a result of the attack on the Vizar Zhulyany machine-building plant, workshops for the production and repair of long-range and medium-range anti-aircraft missile systems, as well as anti-ship missiles, were destroyed.

I can just hear the guys at SouthFront: WHY ARE THEY ONLY NOW BOMBING THAT PLANT???? !!!! Why wasn't it bombed WEEKS ago????!!!!
I know it's not funny but I can't help myself. SouthFront is hopping mad at the Russian military command and has been since the second or third week of the war. They think the command is stuffed with idiots. I think they need to calm down.
