Shahed drones over Kyiv: Air defences activated amid attack VIDEO

Explosions were heard in Kyiv on the morning of April 24 during a Russian drone attack, as air defence systems were activated in the Ukrainian capital.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said in a Telegram post that air defence units were engaging incoming drones over the Obolonskyi district, Caliber.Az reports.

“Explosions are being heard in Kyiv. Air defence forces are operating against enemy drones in Obolonskyi. (…) Debris from UAVs fell in two locations in the Solomianskyi district — on non-residential territory and in a body of water,” he noted.

Head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, Tymur Tkachenko, urged residents to remain in shelters.
