Russia launched a drone attack on Kyiv on the night of December 14. In the Darnytskyi district of the capital, there were reports of drone wreckage falling, but this information has not been confirmed, according to the Kyiv City Military Administration (KCMA).

"Following the Russian drone attack on Kyiv, debris was recorded falling in the Darnytskyi district," said Serhii Popko, head of KCMA, at 1:57 AM (Kyiv time).

He added that, according to preliminary information, the debris fell on an open area. No casualties were reported.

At 02:19, KCMA responded to reports about the falling drone debris, stating that the information had not been confirmed.

Where the alarm is declared

As of 2:08 AM (Kyiv time), the air raid alert continues in Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Cherkasy, Poltava, Sumy, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, and Odesa regions. Although Luhansk and occupied Crimea are marked in dark red, it is unclear if this indicates an active alert, as the same marker has remained unchanged for many months.

Notably, on the evening of December 13 and the night of December 14, the air raid alarm was declared twice in Kyiv. The first time was at 10:25 PM, and the second at 1:10 AM. In both cases, the cause was enemy drones.
