Ukrainian authorities have denounced on Sunday night new attacks with drones of alleged Israeli manufacture against the country’s capital, Kiev.
The spokesman for the local authorities, Oleksiy Kuleba, said that «air defense forces are working on targets», referring to an alleged drone attack in the Kiev region.
«The main thing now is to remain calm and stay in shelters until the alarm is sounded,» he added, criticizing that «the danger persists in the region.»
The mayor of Kiev, Vitali Klitschko, in turn confirmed that an explosion had occurred in the capital, injuring a 19-year-old man who had to be hospitalized.
The Ukrainian army reported early Sunday that on New Year’s Eve Russian troops had attacked Ukrainian territory with drones, of which at least 45 were reportedly shot down.
This was reported by the Air Force Command of Ukrainian troops on its Telegram profile, adding that, of the 45 drones shot down, thirteen were destroyed in 2022 and 32 in 2023, Ukrinform news agency reported.
