Kyiv, Ukraine, is facing an intense aerial attack in the overnight hours, with residents reporting relentless waves of drones and missiles and near-constant explosions echoing across the city.
ABC News’ bureau estimates that dozens of drones were launched toward Ukraine’s capital. While many were intercepted, several appear to have reached their targets, sparking fires across multiple districts. Authorities have confirmed at least two injuries.
It comes 24 hours after Russian forces targeted regions throughout Ukraine with more than 470 attack drones — one of the largest overnight aerial strikes of the war, according to Ukraine’s air force.
