Quote from Klitschko: "I visited a high-rise building that was hit by the wreckage of a Russian drone at night. Last night, the barbarians launched their most massive attack with kamikaze drones. They launched almost 60 Shaheds. 36 of them were flying towards the capital. All were shot down by air defence forces.
However, the wreckage of several drones damaged some public facilities and a residential multi-storey building in the Sviatoshynskyi district."
Details: Five people have been injured in the attack in two districts of Kyiv. Three of them were injured in a high-rise building. Two of the victims were hospitalised, and one of them underwent surgery.
Klitschko added that the city authorities will provide the necessary assistance to the victims and will promptly restore the damaged residential building following the findings of a special commission.
