Russia launched another drone attack on Kyiv on the afternoon of July 8, according to Head of the Kyiv City Military Administration Tymur Tkachenko and the Ukrainian Air Force.
The Ukrainian Air Force warned Kyiv residents about the threat several times.
"A jet-powered drone is in the Kyiv region, heading toward Kyiv from the north," the messages said.
According to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, the enemy attempted to attack a gas distribution station in the Desnianskyi district.
Information about the injured emerged later.
"According to updated information, six people have been injured and, unfortunately, one person has been killed. Russia's drone terror is not stopping today. Let us take care of one another," the statement said.
All of the injured were hospitalized. Among them are two medics.
Recently, Russia struck a five-story residential building in Kharkiv with a missile. At least two people were killed, and another 34 were injured.
During the night, Russia attacked Ukraine with drones, anti-radiation missiles, and ballistic missiles. Hits were recorded.
