Russia Air alert in Kiev again after four days
A major Russian drone attack triggered an air alert over large parts of Ukraine this evening. For the capital Kiev, it was the first alert after four days of calm. The Ukrainian air force reported on its Telegram channel of groups of enemy combat drones over almost all areas in the center, north and east of the country.

"Attention! City of Kiev! Stay in shelters. Enemy combat drone approaching from the north," the citizens of the metropolis were warned. According to the broadcaster Suspilne, parts of a drone fell in one of the central districts of the city without causing a fire or injuring people.
According to the military, at least one missile was also fired at the Sumy area in the north. Russia has stepped up its attacks with Iranian-made combat drones in recent weeks, sometimes deploying more than 100 aircraft in one night. However, many of these are dummies designed to overload Ukrainian air defenses. Ukraine is increasingly succeeding in electronically diverting drones from their course.
