Overnight Drone Attacks on Kyiv Killed at Least One
Kyiv Post journalists reported overnight air defense activities, especially anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) and explosions of drones in midair throughout the city and its suburbs, especially south of the city in the Kriukivshchyna, Hatne, and Obukhiv districts.
“It’s been a tough night. The Russians have always used war and attacks to intimidate everyone in negotiations,” Andriy Kovalenko, head of Ukraine’s Centre for Countering Disinformation, said on Telegram about Sunday’s attack.
On Saturday a Russian drone attack killed nine civilians after hitting a shuttle bus in the Sumy region in northeastern Ukraine, Kyiv said. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called the attack “deliberate” and urged stronger sanctions on Moscow, which said it had attacked a military facility, as reported by Reuters.
According to several milblogger Telegram channels, at one point there were more than 80 drones over Ukraine inbound from Russia.
All the injured in the Obukhiv district just south of Kyiv city were hospitalised, including the four-year-old child, Kalashnik said. Several residential buildings were damaged in the district, he added.
Reuters witnesses in and around Kyiv also reported hearing blasts that sounded like air defence units in operation.
