Russia launched a multi-wave drone attack on Kyiv for the second straight night, the military administration of the Ukrainian capital said on Sunday.
“It seems that now every night, without long breaks, the Russian armed forces attack the peaceful city of Kyiv,” Serhiy Popko, head of the military administration said on Telegram messaging app.
“Last night, the enemy made another attack on the capital.”
He added that Russia launched around 10 drones in several waves, from different directions and at different heights, but Ukrainian air defense units destroyed all of the weapons on their approach to the city.
No injuries or major damage were reported, Popko added. He said that the Air Force will release data on the full-scale of the overnight attack on Ukraine later on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Moscow's defence ministry said on Sunday that Russia shot down 51 Ukrainian drones from above several regions, including near the border.
Eighteen were intercepted in the Tambov region, about 400 kilometers (250 miles) from the Ukrainian border, and 16 in the area of the border town Belgorod, the ministry said in a statement on Telegram.
The others were shot down in the regions of Oryol, Briansk, Lipetsk and Voronej.
Both sides deny targeting civilians in the war that Russia started with its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. But thousands of civilians have died, the vast majority of them Ukrainians.
Russia’s drone attack on Kyiv on Saturday killed one and damaged high-rise residential building.
