Russian drone attack on Kyiv injures 11, causes fires in housing blocks, Ukraine says
- On Sunday, Russia carried out a drone strike during the night in Kyiv, causing fires in multiple residential buildings and damaging cars throughout the city.
- The attack followed a broader escalation amid uncertainty over a proposed ceasefire coinciding with Russia's May 8-10 Victory Day commemorations.
- Ukrainian air defense shot down 69 of 165 drones, while fallen drone debris ignited fires in Kyiv's Obolonskyi, Sviatoshynskyi, and Shevchenkivskyi districts, damaging homes and infrastructure.
- At least 11 individuals were injured in the attack, among them two youths aged 14 and 17, while 76 firefighters worked to control multiple fires as Kyiv officials reported explosions and air-raid warnings lasting roughly an hour.
- Russia announced a temporary ceasefire lasting from May 8 to 10, to which Kyiv responded by suggesting a month-long suspension of hostilities; both sides continue to deny intentionally targeting civilians amid a conflict that started over three years ago.
