They once again deployed Shahed drones to attack the capital, but they were not successful."

Details: Popko said that Ukraine’s air defence forces detected and destroyed all Russian drones on approach to Kyiv.

He added that early reports indicate that there are no casualties, and no damage to infrastructure. This information is being confirmed.
