Russia launched a Shahed kamikaze drone attack at southern Ukraine and Ukraine's capital, with Ukraine's Air Defense destroying all drones approaching Kyiv and another four over Mykolaiv Oblast, Kyiv officials and the Ukrainian Navy reported on April 23.
The overnight air raid alarm in Kyiv was declared due to the threat of a drone attack, Kyiv City Council head, Serhiy Popko, noted.
The drones were launched from Russia’s Kursk Oblast, flew through Sumy and Cherkasy oblasts, and approached Kyiv from the southwest, preliminary reports said.
