The Russian army once again attacked Ukraine overnight using drones. Air defense forces were active in the Kyiv region, according to the Kyiv Regional Military Administration.

This time, the air raid alert in the Kyiv region lasted nearly five hours, during which air defense forces were in operation. Several targets were shot down.

Fortunately, there were no civilian casualties. Additionally, there were no hits on residential or critical infrastructure.

However, due to falling debris in one of the settlements, four private houses, a dormitory, and a medical facility were damaged. The damage was minor, with broken windows and facades in the buildings. Three cars and an emergency medical vehicle were also damaged.
