Nov 7, 2024, 06:02 AM

Russian forces launched a massive eight-hour drone attack on Kyiv overnight, using Iranian-made Shahed drones that targeted residential buildings across six districts of the city and injured at least two people. The attack caused significant damage, with fires breaking out in several areas and debris from the downed drones falling on residential neighborhoods. Ukrainian air defenses reportedly shot down over 30 Russian drones during the assault, but efforts were complicated by the drones flying extremely low near high-rise buildings. Residents sought shelter in subway stations as the air raid alarm in Kyiv lasted eight hours.
