Details: Popko said that Russian attack drones were approaching Kyiv from different directions and in various groups. 

Ukrainian air defence forces managed to destroy almost 20 Russian drones in the airspace of the capital.

Quote: "Early reports indicate that there were no casualties or damage in Kyiv.
