According to official figures, at least one person was killed in heavy air raids on the Ukrainian capital Kiev in the early hours of the morning. “Explosions in Kiev,” said Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko on Sunday morning via Telegram. The air defense shot down at least 20 drones. A 41-year-old man was killed and a 35-year-old woman injured by falling parts, Klitschko said.
The attacks came at dawn on the last Sunday in May, when the capital celebrates Kyiv Day, the anniversary of the city’s official founding 1,541 years ago. This day is usually marked with street festivals, live concerts and exhibitions. Events are also planned this year, albeit on a smaller scale.
According to official information, several districts of Kiev were affected by the night attacks, including the historic district of Pechersk. In the past few days, Russia has intensified its attacks again in view of the expected Ukrainian counter-offensive.
