Russian drone strikes ignite fires in Kyiv’s Solomyanskyi district PHOTO/VIDEO

Kyiv experienced multiple fires in the Solomyanskyi district overnight following a Russian drone attack, Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported on Telegram.

One drone struck a non-residential building, igniting a fire, while debris and the shockwave from a downed drone shattered windows and started a blaze in a nearby apartment building. Both fires have since been extinguished.

According to the Ukrainian Air Force, Russia launched 156 attack drones overnight, including Shahed and Gerbera models. By 8:00 a.m., Ukrainian air defences had successfully intercepted 135 of the enemy drones, either shooting them down or suppressing them electronically.
