Russian drone attack damages 2 homes in Kyiv Oblast
Explosions were heard in Kyiv late Dec. 16 as Ukrainian air defenses responded to a Russian drone attack, with no civilian casualties reported and two residential buildings damaged in Kyiv Oblast’s Vyshhorod district, officials said..
Explosions were first reported by a Kyiv Independent journalist on the ground at 10:52 p.m. local time. Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitschko reported at the time of the attack that air defenses were operating in the Obolonskyi district.
There were no casualties among civilians, but two residential buildings were damaged in the Vyshgorod district, Governor Mykola Kalashnyk reported on Dec. 17. He added that hits on critical infrastructure were prevented as air targets were shot down by air defenses.
Russia regularly strikes cities across Ukraine, targeting critical infrastructure as it continues to wage its war despite U.S. efforts to broker an end to hostilities.
