An overnight Russian drone strike in Kyiv Oblast killed one person and injured three more, Governor Mykola Kalashnyk reported on May 18.

As a direct result of the Russian drone attack, a 28-year-old woman died from her injuries, Kalashnyk wrote on Telegram.

A 59-year-old man, a 61-year-old woman, and a 4-year-old child were also injured and have been taken to the hospital for medical treatment.

Civilian targets, including a house and a multi-story residential building, were also partially damaged in the attack. Emergency services are currently working at the scene.

In recent days, Russian attacks have resulted in civilian casualties across Ukraine.

Russia launched 273 drones at Ukraine overnight, including Iranian-designed Shahed-type suicide drones, according to Ukraine's Air Force.

Ukrainian air defenses shot down 88 drones, while 128 vanished from radars, likely used as decoys to overwhelm defenses.
