(Kyiv) At least one person was killed and several others injured in the night from Monday to Tuesday during a new “massive attack” by Russian drones on Kyiv, announced the mayor of the city, Vitali Klitschko.
Debris fell on a multi-storey building in the Holosiivsky district, in the south of the capital. “One person died, an old lady was hospitalized, two victims were treated on the spot,” the mayor said on Telegram.
“Massive attack! Stay in shelter! implored the mayor.
According to the city’s civil and military administration, 20 people were evacuated from the affected building. “The two upper floors are destroyed, there may be people under the rubble,” she also said on Telegram.
Earlier in the night, Mr Klitschko had announced that a 27-year-old woman had been hospitalized after a fall of debris on the same district of Holosiivsky.
Civil-military administration says night attack was carried out using drones, and other debris falls set fire to house in Darnytskyi neighborhood, also in south from the city, and three cars in the central district of Pechersky. Debris also fell on a business in the Svyatoshynskyi district in western Kyiv.
Air warning sirens sounded overnight in Kyiv, but also in the regions of Cherkasy (center), Kirovohrad, Mykolayiv and Kherson (south).
On Monday, Russian missiles fell in broad daylight on Kyiv, sowing panic in the streets, after another night of bombardments. Many residents took refuge in underground shelters, especially in the metro.
