Russia Ukraine War Live | Russia Launches Volley Of Drones As US Defense Secretary Visits Ukraine
Russia attacked the Ukrainian capital Kyiv with several waves of drones for the second night in a row, damaging residential buildings and injuring at least one civilian, Ukrainian officials said on Monday (October 21).
The Ukrainian military said air defences downed 59 out of 116 Russian drones launched overnight. The military lost track of 45 drones that likely fell into Ukrainian territory, it said.
About 10 drones targeting the capital in several waves and from different direction were destroyed, Serhiy Popko, head of Kyiv’s military administration, said. While none of the weapons hit their target, falling debris injured at least one man, he added.
Debris fell onto three of Kyiv’s main districts, damaging some to roofs and the facades of several residential buildings and power cables, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram.
In the town of Hlevakha, a high-rise residential building was damaged with balconies on the top floor being destroyed.
The attack followed Russian strikes on Kyiv and other cities on Sunday which injured 17 people in a central Ukrainian city.
