Kyiv Under Heavy Drone Assault as Russia Intensifies Attacks

Ukraine's capital faces a significant overnight drone attack, resulting in injuries and widespread destruction, with air defenses responding to the escalating threats.


Kyiv was hit by a large-scale Russian drone attack, injuring at least 10 people and igniting numerous fires throughout the city. This assault follows the largest aerial attack reported by Ukraine, raising alarms about potential ballistic missile strikes.


Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, has come under a substantial overnight assault from Russian drones, local officials report. At least 10 individuals have been injured, with fires reported across various parts of the city. Officials confirm that debris from drones has impacted residential buildings, particularly in the central Shevchenkivskyi district. Unverified footage circulating on social media indicates explosions lighting up the night sky as Ukraine's air defense units work to intercept these attacks.

Last night marked an unprecedented aerial offensive by Russian forces, with Ukrainian military officials stating that 728 drones and 13 cruise or ballistic missiles targeted cities nationwide in a series of coordinated strikes. As dawn approached on Thursday, Kyiv's military administration mentioned multiple drone strikes affecting six different city districts. "Various structures including residential complexes, vehicles, warehouses, and commercial buildings are ablaze," noted Tymur Tkachenko, the head of the administration, in a Telegram post urging citizens to find shelter until the air raid alerts were lifted.

In addition, Ukraine's air force has raised alerts regarding potential drone threats in multiple regions. While the situation in Kyiv continues to unfold, there are reports of casualties outside the capital, although these details are still emerging.

Meanwhile, reports from Ukraine's emergency services revealed that three individuals lost their lives due to a Russian airstrike in the town of Kostiantynivka, located near the eastern front lines. In a related development, the United States has resumed supplying certain weapons to Ukraine after briefly halting critical arms shipments. This escalation comes in the wake of Russian President Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, initiated in February 2022. The ongoing conflict sees Russian forces attempting to advance on three fronts, though they are met with fierce resistance from Ukrainian defense forces.
