Russian forces carried out at least six kamikaze drone attacks in the Kiev region early Thursday morning, according to local authorities, who confirmed that Moscow is continuing to use the devices allegedly purchased from Iran.
The head of the regional police, Andri Nebitov, has reported on his Telegram account the deployment of emergency services to extinguish a fire and assess the consequences of the attacks, according to UNIAN agency.
For his part, the governor of Kiev, Oleksi Kuleba, assured that preliminary reports ruled out personal injuries and confirmed the shooting down of several drones by Ukrainian defense systems.
Ukrainian authorities have accused Russian forces of using kamikaze or suicide drones in their latest wave of attacks on energy infrastructures and urban centers, something that Moscow has refused to clarify and from which Tehran has disassociated itself, assuring that it does not provide weaponry to any of the parties in conflict.
