Explosions were reported in Kyiv during a Russian drone attack after the Ukrainian Air Force warned that unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were approaching from the east of the capital. Authorities called on the population to remain in shelters as air defenses could be active.

The Ukrainian Air Force issued a warning before the attack, informing citizens of the imminent danger. A spokesperson for the Air Force stated that the UAVs were heading towards Kyiv and urged the population to seek safety.

Additionally, the General Staff of Ukraine reported 133 combat clashes since the start of the day. Russian forces were particularly active near Pokrovsk and Huliaipole, further escalating the military situation in these areas.

The situation in Kyiv and the surrounding areas remains tense as Ukrainian forces continue to fight against Russian aggression. Air defense is considered crucial to protect the civilian population.
