One civilian has died in Kyiv after a “massive” drone attack on the Ukrainian capital, the city’s mayor Vitali Klitschko said Sunday.<\/p>\n
“A 35-year-old woman was hospitalised, a 41-year-old man died,” the mayor and former boxer said on Telegram, reporting that drone wreckage had crashed near a petrol station.<\/p>\n
He said Kyiv’s air defences had shot down “more than 20 drones” headed for the city, and implored city residents: “Stay in shelters. The attack is massive!”<\/p>\n
A fire also broke out at a company premises in the Holosiivskyi district, he added.<\/p>\n
Russian forces have targeted Kyiv throughout May.<\/p>\n
The head of the local civil and military administration, Serhii Popko, said Friday that there had been 13 attacks during the month.<\/p>\n
Over the past few weeks, reports of drone attacks in Russia have also multiplied, usually in regions bordering Ukraine.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, shelling in those areas killed two people, regional authorities said.<\/p>\n
