Drone Strikes: Kyiv Under Siege

In the early hours of Wednesday, Russia launched a drone strike on Kyiv, resulting in injuries to at least three individuals and structural damage in two districts, city officials reported.

The Ukrainian air force had issued a warning of approaching drones moments before explosions echoed across the sky. Mayor Vitali Klitschko stated that air-defences were countering the assault, and that the attack had partially destroyed two floors of a residential building.

In another neighborhood, non-residential premises also suffered damage from debris. Regular air strikes by Russia on Ukrainian towns and cities, beyond the frontline, mark their nearly three-year-old invasion.
