A wave of kamikaze drone attacks pummeled Kyiv, killing at least one person and setting off warning sirens across the Ukrainian capital as commuters headed to work.
Four people were injured in the attacks and 19 people trapped under the destruction have been rescued, according to Kyrylo Tymoshenko, a senior official working for Ukraine’s president. The strikes on Kyiv appear to be part of a wider assault involving drones and cruise missiles. The Ukrainian Air Force said it had destroyed 37 Iranian-made kamikaze drones and three cruise missiles in the south and east of the country early Monday.
They can be easily launched and are designed to hit behind enemy lines and be destroyed in the attack. It’s unclear how many casualties there have been, but one person was found dead under the rubble of a destroyed building in Kyiv, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said. Another remains trapped, Klitschko said. Vitalii, a Kyiv man in his 20s, witnessed one attack after he had just arrived at a railway station. “We saw a flash and an explosion.
