Attack on Kyiv: How Many 'Shaheds' Were Destroyed Overnight.


Overnight, Russian occupiers once again attacked Kyiv with combat drones. The enemy carried out the attack according to a known scheme: night attack, use of 'Shahed'-type drones, choosing various directions and altitudes for approaching the city, as well as attacks by groups of varying sizes. This is reported by KMVA.
The duration of the air alert in the capital lasted more than 5.5 hours. The first groups of drones appeared before midnight, and throughout the night the enemy continuously launched new drones.
It is noted that thanks to the effective work of the air defense forces, none of the enemy drones managed to reach their targets. About one and a half dozen combat drones were destroyed in the airspace around Kyiv. The exact number and type of weaponry used by the enemy will be reported later in the Air Force reports.
Due to falling debris in the Desnyansky district, minor damage was recorded, but there were no destructions or fires. No information about casualties has been received.
Authorities urge Kyiv residents and city guests to remain vigilant and follow safety rules during the air alert.
Recall that in Kyiv, enemy drone debris fell near a residential building.
