Ukraine has stopped a Russian drone attack directed at the capital Kyiv as it shot down 13 drones on Wednesday, avoiding any casualties.
The Ukrainian Defense Ministry said in a Telegram post that Russian forces attacked Ukraine with Iranian-made kamikaze drones known as Shahed 131 and Shahed 136. It said the drones came in from Ukraine’s eastern coast by the Sea of Azov, and radar detected them as they were approaching.
The ministry said anti-aircraft missiles and other weapons from Ukraine’s Air Force shot the drones down.
The Associated Press reported that wreckage from the downed drones damaged five buildings, but Kyiv remained mostly calm after the attack finished.
