Quote: "One person, a 41-year-old man, was killed. Two were hospitalised: a 35-year-old woman, who is in intensive care, and one rescue worker who was crushed by a concrete slab during the rescue operation on one of the civilian facilities. I hope the doctors will quickly put him back on his feet and he will be able to return to his duties."

Details: Klitschko also said that the city is constantly improving the air defence system and alerting the population to Russian air-raids.

"We are using the best international experience. We’re installing a warning system that can work even during power outages. Because people's safety is important to us. We are also strengthening the defence of the capital, in particular anti-aircraft defence. Our foreign partners are helping us a lot with this. And we are very grateful to them for that," Klitschko said.

Previously: One person was killed, two were injured, and four civilian facilities were damaged as a result of the Shahed drone attack on Kyiv on Sunday night.

Over 40 Russian drones were shot down in Kyiv’s airspace.
