Night drone attack

Tonight, November 25,  the occupiers staged another drone attack  on Kiev. In the capital, the alarm lasted more than 6 hours. Minor damage was recorded in the Dnieper, Goloseevsky and Pechersky districts of Kyiv.

“More than 70 “martyrs” on the night of the day of remembrance of the victims of the Holodomor-genocide. Conscious terror. It was at this time. The Russian leadership is proud that it can kill. Our soldiers shot down most of the drones. Unfortunately, not all. But we continue to work to strengthen our air defense,” President Vladimir Zelensky said regarding the actions of the Russians.

As a result of the attack,  about 200 residential buildings were left without electricity .
