The drones entered the capital in groups and from different directions. Air defence forces managed to destroy more than two dozen enemy UAVs (the exact number and type will be shared by the Air Force)."

Details: Popko noted that the debris fell in several districts of the capital.

In the Shevchenkivskyi district, they damaged an apartment in a high-rise building.

But most of the debris fell on an open area.

"Cars, trolleybus power lines and the road surface were damaged. At the moment, we know about one casualty, but his injuries are not life-threatening," Popko said.
