Kyiv is once again grappling with a significant drone assault from Russian forces, according to reports from local authorities. At least ten individuals have sustained injuries, and numerous fires have erupted across the capital due to the attacks. Drone debris has struck residential buildings in the central Shevchenkivskyi district, prompting images of explosions shared on social media, which are still awaiting verification from established news agencies.
In the early hours of Thursday, Ukraine's military officials reported drone strikes occurring across six districts of the city. Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv military administration, informed the public via Telegram that residential structures, vehicles, warehouses, and office spaces were engulfed in flames, emphasizing the importance of taking shelter until the all-clear signal was given.
Reports from Ukraine's air force indicate a persistent threat from Russian drones in several regions, though details regarding other potential casualties outside Kyiv remain unclear. As of now, there has been no official comment from Russia’s military concerning these latest strikes.
In other news related to the ongoing conflict, the Ukrainian emergency services stated that a Russian air strike in Kostiantynivka, a town close to the frontline in eastern Ukraine, resulted in the deaths of three civilians. Additionally, following a temporary halt in military support, the United States has resumed sending some arms to Ukraine, underscoring the ongoing international engagement in the conflict that began with Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022.
