A Russian drone attack near the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv on Friday killed one person and wounded four others, local officials said.
"One person was killed and four were wounded in an enemy air attack on the Kyiv region," acting Kyiv region Governor Mykola Kalashnyk wrote on social media early Friday.
He said a truck driver was killed after he was hit by falling debris from a Russian drone that had been shot down.
The wreckage also fell on the house and wounded others, including a 16-year-old boy and his father.
Ukraine's air force said Russia launched 93 drones overnight. It added that 60 attack drones and 26 decoy-style drones were downed or "lost" — either shot down or disabled by electronic interceptors.
Downed drones also fell on two districts of Kyiv, but there were no injuries, the city's mayor said.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
