In the early hours of Friday, Kyiv, Ukraine, experienced a series of mass drone attacks targeting various residential districts, according to reports from Mayor Vitali Klitschko and other officials. This marked the sixth occurrence of drone attacks on the capital within the current month, resulting in at least two reported injuries.
