2:10 p.m.: Five injured in airstrike on kyiv
On Saturday morning, the Ukrainian Air Force claimed to have shot down 71 Iranian-made Shahed attack drones launched overnight by Russia. “Most of them were destroyed in the kyiv region,” she said. Five people, including an 11-year-old child, were injured during this strike, local authorities in Kiev said, assuring that it was the “most massive attack since the start of the invasion” of Ukraine. The air alert in the capital lasted six hours and falling debris from drones caused fires and damaged buildings, added Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko. “The enemy continues to sow terror,” he lamented.
The attack also caused large-scale power outages in the capital after “an electricity supply line” was broken, according to Ukraine’s Energy Ministry, as temperatures fell below zero. “As a result, 77 residential buildings and 120 buildings in the central part of the city are without electricity,” detailed the ministry, ensuring that repair work was underway.
