KYIV, Ukraine: For the second consecutive night, Russia launched a multi-wave drone assault on Kyiv, according to a Reuters report.
Serhiy Popko, head of Kyiv’s military administration, disclosed that around ten drones targeted the capital in waves from varying directions. Fortunately, Ukrainian air defenses successfully intercepted all of them, resulting in no casualties or significant damage.
Popko expressed concern over the ongoing nature of these nighttime attacks, noting that Kyiv has been under regular assault by Russian forces without extended reprieves. While Ukrainian authorities have yet to provide a complete report on the scale of these attacks, early information points to substantial efforts to secure the city.
