Russian Drone Strikes Injure 12 in Kyiv and Mykolaiv
KYIV (Reuters) -Russian drones attacked the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv and the southern city of Mykolaiv overnight, injuring at least 12 people, authorities said on Thursday.
Two women were injured in the capital where drones also sparked a fire at a storage facility and damaged residential buildings, Kyiv city military administration said.
Authorities recorded 30 drones in the airspace over the capital, 16 of which were destroyed and the rest either left the airspace or were "lost".
The overnight attack also injured 10 people in the southern city of Mykolaiv, its regional governor Vitalii Kim said.
The Russian assault also damaged nine apartment buildings, 30 garages and an administrative building, he added.
Russia denies targeting civilians but thousands have been killed and injured in its invasion of Ukraine.
