For several days, Russia has been attacking parts of Ukraine with combat drones. As a result, there are said to have been failures in the electricity and water supply in Kyiv, reports Mayor Klitschko. A teenager is said to have been injured.
Russia has attacked Ukraine with combat drones for the fifth night in a row. In the capital Kyiv, Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced that energy infrastructure had been damaged in the attacks. There are power outages in the city, which also affected the heat supply, he said. The water supply is running normally.
Klitschko also said that after an explosion in a neighborhood, a 19-year-old boy had to be hospitalized with injuries. A house there had been hit during a Russian attack.
On the night of Monday there was another air alert in many parts of Ukraine. According to Ukrainian sources, the Russian drone strikes early Monday are again targeting critical infrastructure in Kyiv and the surrounding region. “It’s noisy in the region and in the capital: drone strikes at night,” writes Oleksiy Kuleba, the governor of the Kyiv region, on Telegram. “The Russians have launched several waves of (Iranian-originated) Shahed drones. They are targeting critical infrastructure facilities. Air defenses are deployed.”
For days, Russia has been increasingly attacking at night with Iranian-type Shahed-136 kamikaze combat drones. Russian military bloggers reported that in addition to Kyiv, Poltava, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv and Kherson regions were affected. The massive attacks with combat drones began on Thursday.
Russia has also repeatedly reported drone attacks from the Ukrainian side. According to Governor Alexander Bogomas, the energy infrastructure was hit on Monday in the Bryansk region near the Russian border. As a result, the power went out in one place. There were no injuries, Bogomas said.
