Ukraine claimed Saturday that it had shot down 71 Russian attack drones overnight, calling it the largest strike on the city since the invasion began.
According to the city government of Kyiv, five individuals were hurt, including an 11-year-old child.
The air force stated, “The air force destroyed 71 Shahed 131/136 attack UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles). The vast majority of them were destroyed in the Kyiv region”.
“The city was on high alert for six hours, as falling drone debris ignited fires and damaged buildings throughout the capital”, said Mayor Vitali Klitschko.
“The enemy continues the terror”, Klitschko added.
The attack occurred on the anniversary of Holodomor, the 1930s starvation of millions in Ukraine under Soviet leader Joseph Stalin.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted, “More than 70 Shaheds on the night of the Holodomor Remembrance Day… The Russian leadership is proud of the fact that it can kill”, through his official ‘X’ handle.
