Russia has hit Ukraine’s 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, late on Sunday evening, hours before the attack in Kyiv.
A Ukrainian air force official said all the drones had flown into the country from the south.
“Kamikaze” drones are packed with explosives which detonate upon impact, destroying the drone. They loiter above a target before attacking. They are often sent in waves and difficult to spot on radar.
