A Russian drone attack injured 12 people in Kyiv and Mykolaiv, causing significant damage based on Kyiv city military administration, the Ukrainian air force downed most of the drones, but the assault destroyed residential buildings and infrastructure.
According to Kyiv city military administration, a Russian drone attack has left 12 people injured in two Ukrainian cities, Kyiv and Mykolaiv, as tensions continue to escalate. The assault, which occurred overnight, saw the Ukrainian capital targeted by drones, injuring two women. In Kyiv, drones sparked a fire at a storage facility and caused significant damage to residential buildings. The Ukrainian air force responded, shooting down 85 out of 145 drones launched by Russia. Another 49 drones were intercepted, likely due to electronic warfare countermeasures.
In the southern city of Mykolaiv, 10 people were injured in the attack. Regional governor Vitalii Kim confirmed that the assault also caused extensive damage, destroying nine apartment buildings, 30 garages, and an administrative building. The ongoing conflict has already resulted in thousands of deaths and injuries, with Russia denying it targets civilians.
This attack is part of Russia's ongoing efforts to destabilise Ukraine, despite international condemnation. Ukrainian authorities continue to bolster their defences against Russian drone and missile assaults, while civilians in affected regions bear the brunt of the violence.
