A wave of Russian drone attacks on the Ukrainian capital left one person dead and sparked fires around the city
Kyiv’s Mayor Vitali Klitshko said Ukrainian air defense forces had “already intercepted more than 20 UAVs ” heading toward the capital and warned that “a new wave of drones is on its way.” The Ukrainian Air Force said later that 54 Iranian Shahed drones had been launched by Russia overnight and that 52 of them had been destroyed by Ukrainian forces.
Falling drone debris also sparked fires in buildings across the capital, the mayor said on Telegram. A fire spanning 700 square meters had been contained but buildings across an area of 1,000 square meters area were damaged, Klitschko added. In the Pecherskyi district, the historical center of Kyiv, falling drone debris also sparked a fire on the roof of a nine-story building, Klitschko said.
