However, authorities were unable to track 32 of the drones, leaving uncertainty about their final destinations. No casualties or damage have been reported as yet.

Kyiv was one of the main targets of the overnight attacks.

The city’s air defence successfully intercepted all 10 drones targeting it, which reportedly approached in waves from various directions.

This marks the second consecutive night of Russian drone attacks on the Ukrainian capital.

Serhiy Popko, head of Kyiv’s military administration, wrote on Telegram that no casualties or significant damage had been observed.

Saturday’s attack on Kyiv had a fatal outcome, leaving one person dead and damaging a high-rise building.
