A massive drone attack kept Kyiv residents awake and higly strung  after  Russia launched Shahed drones toward the Ukrainian capital in early hours of Thusday . The air raid sirens blared for almost six hours, starting just before midnight. Waves of drones kept coming through the night, but Kyiv’s air defenses stood strong. According to the Kyiv City Military Administration,  none of the drones reached their targets.

“Air defense units took down about 15 Shahed drones in the skies around and above Kyiv,” officials reported.

Debris from one of the downed drones fell in the Desnianskyi district, but fortunately, there were no casualties, injuries, or major damage. No fires were reported either, offering a small relief after a tense night.
