Details: The ambassador explained to her followers on Twitter that there had been a drone attack on Kyiv overnight and debris had fallen on the very area where she lives and a neighbouring area, so it had been a "pretty nasty night."
Quote: "No wonder things got so loud. This morning I’m grateful for Ukrainian air defence and for my windowless shelter. Now [it's] time to get some air."
Pretty nasty night. 🇷🇺 UAV attacks on Kyiv from several directions, reportedly, including the district I live in and its neighbour. No wonder things got so loud. This morning I’m grateful for 🇺🇦 air defence and for my windowless shelter. Now time to get some air.

Pierre Heilbronn, France's special envoy for aid and reconstruction, who is now in Kyiv, also shared his impressions of the attack, noting that it was a "short and loud night."
