Russia launched a drone attack on the city of Brovary in Kyiv Oblast overnight on April 20, injuring at least one person, officials reported.
Local residents reported hearing explosions in the area amid a wider drone attack on the region.
Kyiv Oblast Governor Mykola Kalashnyk reported a 51-year-old man had been hospitalized as a result of the strike. Two homes were also damaged in the attack, Kalashnyk added.
No information was available on the full extent of the damage caused or the status of the injured victims.
Brovary has occasionally been the subject of attacks on the capital since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The city serves as the largest suburb of Kyiv, located just 20 kilometers from the capital.
Kyiv has been one of the primary targets of Russian attacks over the past few months amid increased attacks on energy infrastructure at times leaving much of the city without heat, electricity, or water in freezing temperatures — although warmer temperatures in recent months have alleviated some of the pressure felt by Kyiv resident.
