A Russian drone strike toward the Ukrainian capital on Friday killed one person and injured four in the Kiev suburbs, local officials said.
Moscow’s military has stepped up airstrikes across Ukraine in the first weeks of winter, including a drone strike targeting central Kiev on New Year’s Day that killed two people.
“One person was killed and four were injured in an enemy air strike on the Kiev region,” Mykola Kalashnik, head of the Kiev region that besieges the capital, said on social media Friday.
He said a truck driver died after being hit by debris from the downed Russian drone.
Debris also fell on a house, injuring three people, including a 16-year-old boy and his father.
The Ukrainian Air Force said Russia launched 93 drones overnight. It said 60 attack drones and 26 decoy-style drones were shot down or “lost” – either shot down or disabled by electronic interceptors.
Downed drones also fell in two districts of Kyiv, but there were no casualties, the city mayor said.
