Ukrainian officials reported a significant Russian drone attack on Kyiv, marking the eighth such assault this month. Ukrainian air defenses successfully intercepted 53 out of 56 drones, with nearly 20 targeting the capital specifically, resulting in one injury and damage to five homes in the Kyiv region, but no critical infrastructure was harmed. Serhiy Popko, head of Kyiv's military administration, confirmed that there were no casualties or structural damage in Kyiv itself, despite coinciding loud explosions indicative of air defense operations. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged allies to provide weapons systems to enable long-range strikes against Russian targets. The ongoing drone and missile strikes are part of Russia's sustained campaign against Ukraine as the conflict continues to escalate. Moscow has yet to respond to these recent attacks, maintaining that its strikes focus solely on military infrastructure.
