Ukraine war: Kyiv attacked by kamikaze drones, say officials

Russia has hit the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, with a wave of Iranian-made kamikaze drones - killing at least one person, says Mayor Vitali Klitschko.

"It shows their desperation," said Andriy Yermak, head of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's staff.

And in the port city of Mykolaiv, sunflower oil tanks were set on fire by similar drones, said the city's mayor.

A week ago, the capital was hit by Russian missiles at rush hour, part of nationwide attacks which left 19 dead.

A Ukrainian air force official said all the drones had flown into the country from the south. read more
