A Russia-launched attack struck Kyiv in the early hours of Tuesday, the third night running for an aerial attack on the Ukrainian capital, with “around 20” Iranian-made Shahed drones used, according to Ukrainian authorities, FRANCE 24’s Gulliver Cragg reported from Kyiv. “I could certainly hear them; that’s actually the first time I’ve personally heard the sound of these drones, which are always described as ‘flying mopeds’ by the Ukrainians. […] What we could mainly hear was the sound of the explosions of the Ukrainian air defence systems shooting these drones,” Cragg explained.
