Ukraine war: Kyiv hit by biggest drone attack since war began

Jan 3,2022 4:06 am

By James WaterhouseBBC Ukraine correspondent

Russia has launched its biggest drone Attack on Kyiv since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine began Last Year , officials say.

Residents were woken by explosions Before Dawn on Saturday, and for More Than six hours, the booms of Kyiv's air defences echoed through The City .

There was wave after wave of attacks from the north and east.

Officials said that More Than 75 Iranian-made Shahed drones were fired at the capital, and 74 were shot down.

With Russia's dwindling missile stocks, Shahed drones are seen as a cheap alternative. They are slower than ballistic missiles and have a distinctive wingspan.

It has been a night where the whines of their engines has blended with the booms of The City 's air defences.

As ever, even if a missile or drone is intercepted, The Falling debris can be lethal too. This Time , only five people have been reportedly injured. A kindergarten was among The Buildings damaged.

For several quiet weeks, Moscow had been suspected of stockpiling missiles. That abruptly ended This Morning .

In response to The Strikes , Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said that his country will " continue to work to unite The World in defence against Russian terror".

He is trying to secure continued Western support as well as negotiate Ukraine's path to being a possible member of the European Union .

President Zelensky also noted that The Attack - which he called an act of " wilful terror" - came on the same day that Ukraine commemorates the Holodomor famine in 1932-1933 - brought on by Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin - which killed several million Ukrainians.

As winter continues to bite, it had been feared that Russia would resume its tactic of targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure. With 16,000 homes being left without power in the central Kyiv region, this appears to be the case.

However, if the aim of Moscow's strategy Last Year was to deprive Ukrainians of much-needed power and water, it ultimately failed as authorities learnt to quickly repair damaged pipes and powerlines.

Ukraine's air defences also kept improving.

That's not to say strikes like this aren't felt.

They still kill, destroy homes, spread fear and disrupt lives.
