Russia unleashed a barrage of drones and missiles overnight, targeting multiple regions across Ukraine.
In Kyiv, several apartment buildings, warehouses, an office center, a residential house, and a metro station were damaged in different neighborhoods during the morning attack, Serhii Popko, head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, reported.
According to him, Ukraine’s air defense downed over 30 air targets in the capital.
