Russia attacked Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, overnight in a series of strikes using Iranian-made drones that hit energy infrastructure and other targets, according to Ukrainian officials.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram that several explosions rang out in the Solomianskyi and Shevchenkivskyi districts of the city, suggesting there were no known fatalities but the explosions left 3 percent of consumers without heating.
“As a result of the attack on the capital, critical infrastructure facilities were damaged,” he wrote on Monday. “Energy and heating engineers are working to quickly stabilize the situation with energy and heat supply.”
The city advised residents to go to shelters as air raid sirens rang out in Kyiv, which expired later on Monday.
The head of Kyiv’s city military administration, Serhiy Popko, said 23 drones were launched by Russia during the air alert, and the Ukrainian military destroyed 18 of them.
