Kyiv under drone attack barrage for second night
Ukraine has come under a fresh wave of drone and missile attacks, primarily targeting the capital of Kyiv. Local authorities confirmed that Ukrainian forces successfully intercepted and destroyed over 40 “aerial targets” above the capital.
Fortunately, there were no casualties in Kyiv, but the falling debris from the drones caused damage to buildings and sparked fires. There were also reports of explosions in the Lviv, Odesa, Vinnytsya and Khmelnytskyy regions.
The latest attack marks the 15th air assault by Russia on Kyiv this month, with the second consecutive intense overnight attack.
In the Khmelnytskyy region, a military airfield suffered significant damage, including five aircraft and the runway, according to regional authorities.
On Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky commended the country’s air defence forces following the largest drone attack Kyiv has experienced since the war began.
