Russia launched a “record” 90 drones in New Year’s Eve attacks on Ukraine that killed several people and left dozens injured, Kyiv officials have said.
Most of the drones involved were downed by its air defences, Ukraine said on Monday. The attacks came just days after Moscow’s deadliest strikes on Ukrainian cities in almost two years of war.
Air strikes continued into New Year’s Day, with Kyiv saying its air defences had intercepted a drone attack on the Ukrainian capital and a missile targeting the central city of Dnipro. Officials said at least two people were killed after a drone hit an apartment building in the northeastern Sumy region.
