Ukraine repels Russian drone attack

The Kiev military administration has said it repelled a drone attack launched by Russia on Ukraine.

Authorities on Monday said Russia attacked the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, with swarms of combat drones overnight.

Revealing the attack on Telegram, the military said there were initially no reports of casualties or damages.

It added that in the Mykolaiv region in southern Ukraine, a Russian drone hit unspecified infrastructure, causing a fire.

According to Ukraine’s Air Force, 67 of 73 drones had been shot down overnight.

Recall that Ukraine has been defending itself against a full-scale Russian invasion since February 2022.

The country is highly dependent on Western weapons.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly urged his Western allies to provide more air defence systems to better protect Ukrainian cities from constant Russian drone and missile strikes.
