Russian drones attack Kyiv for third night in a row, four injured

For the third night in a row, Russia has launched drones at Kyiv. City authorities reported that they were able to down all of the drones on July 11-12 with no injuries.

Last night, Russian armed forces launched kamikaze drones at Kyiv yet again. Air defense systems shot down “about a dozen” drones over the Ukrainian capital, with debris falling in Darnytskyi, Solomyanskyi, Shevchenkivsky, Obolonskyi and Podilskyi districts of the city.

At least four people were injured, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said. Originally, Klitschko also said that one person died in an apartment fire that started in the Podilskyi district due to falling drone debris. However, Ukrainian authorities later clarified that the fire was unrelated to the drone strikes.

The Ukrainian Air Force Command said that Russian forces launched a total of 20 drones and two cruise missiles at Ukrainian territory, all of which were shot down.
