Ukrainian authorities on Tuesday said that Russia had attacked Kiev with drones again on Monday night.
Ukrainian air defences shot down all the Iranian-made Shahed drones with which the Russian aggressor attacked Kiev, the city’s military administration was cited by the Ukrainian news agency Ukrinform as saying.
They did not say how many drones were shot down.
According to initial information, there were no casualties or destruction, said Serhiy Popko, the head of the military administration in Kiev.
The air alert lasted three hours, he said.
This was the sixth drone attack on Kiev in July.
Ukraine has been fending off a Russian invasion for 17 months with Western help including modern air defence systems.
Moscow has been using Iranian-made Shahed drones to bombard the neighbouring country for months. (dpa/NAN)
