At night drone attacks on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, at least four people were killed. As Mayor Vitali Klitschko also announced on the night of today via Telegram, 20 others were injured.
Several residential buildings were hit before strong air strikes. The emergency services said that Russia attacked “drones and ballistic rockets”. Several districts of Kiev were met.
Also attacked regions in the west of Ukraine
The goals were also other larger cities and regions in the west of the country, as news portals such as “The Kyiv Independent” reported. Air alarm was triggered in all regions of Ukraine.
In Kiev, a drone met the top floors of an apartment building, as the head of the Kiev military authority, Timur Tkachenko, wrote. In addition to explosions, desolate debris were reported in several districts. According to the military administration, emergency power can also occur in the eastern part of Kiev.
Russia announced retaliation
It remained unclear whether it was the expected large -scale retaliation attack in Russia after the Ukrainian blow against the Russian bomber fleet last weekend.
In the surprise attack, the Ukrainian secret service SBU had attacked several Russian military airfields after months of preparation, of which fighter planes had previously started to attack attacks against Ukraine. The SBU said that a total of machines with a total value of $ seven billion ($ 6.1 billion) were destroyed in the attacks.
After the attack, the Kremlin initially wrapped in silence on its own ground. Vladimir Putin’s annoyance was first public by US President Donald Trump. After his phone call with the Kremlin chief, Trump said that Putin had “said very clearly” that he had to react to the attacks by Ukraine.
