Last night, air defense units destroyed all the attack drones used by Russian troops to attack the capital of Ukraine.

According to Ukrinform, this was reported in Telegram by the Kyiv CMA.

“Today was another night, massive drone attack. Enemy UAVs (previously of the “Shahed” type) began flying into our territory before midnight, from different directions. The drones came close to Kyiv around three in the morning. The announced air alert in the capital lasted only 18 minutes. But during this time, air defense was loudly working over Kyiv,” wrote Serhiy Popko, head of KCMA.

According to him, all the drones that threatened the capital were destroyed - none of the enemy UAVs reached their target.

As a result of the attack by Russian attack drones, debris fell at four different addresses in the Pechersk district. A fire was detected in an open area of 50 square meters (later extinguished).
