Russian attacks on Kyiv
Russian forces attempted to strike Kyiv on the night of November 3. The air raid alert in Kyiv lasted over five hours as drones approached the capital in groups and at very low speeds.
Despite recorded damage from drone debris in two areas of Kyiv, all UAVs targeting the city were intercepted.
In the Kyiv region, where the attack on the capital was countered, five areas reported damage, and fires were also recorded.
