In Kyiv, a new attempt of Russian aggression has been recorded in the form of unmanned aerial vehicles, causing panic and round-the-clock security measures in the city
On the evening of May 23, residents of the capital experienced anxiety due to a dangerous aerial situation resulting from another large-scale shelling by Russian occupation forces, who used attack drones.

According to the Kyiv City Military Administration (KCMA), a high level of air raid alert was announced throughout the evening — sirens sounded from 10:00 PM across the entire city region, including the main districts. This remains a constant sign that enemy objects could cross the city’s airspace at any moment. According to the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, at this time, attack drones were recorded over the southern part of Kyiv, allegedly launched by Russian troops in an effort to destabilize the situation in the capital.

According to information from KCMA, as a result of falling debris caused by the destruction of drones, several vehicles and windows in residential buildings in Holosiivskyi district were damaged. Fortunately, there were no casualties — no one was injured or killed. specialists are currently working at the scene to assess the extent of the damages and carry out necessary repairs. The zone of debris impact was limited, but the situation once again emphasizes how complicated the security environment in Kyiv and across the country remains. Ukrainian authorities urge residents to stay cautious, monitor official reports, and follow safety rules in case of any alarms. These attacks demonstrate the cynicism and cruelty of Russian occupiers, who use drones to terrorize and destabilize the situation in the Ukrainian capital. At the moment, the situation is under control of defense forces, whose efforts are focused on preventing new missile and drone attacks, as well as protecting the lives and property of Kyiv residents. Authorities call on residents to stay vigilant, remain calm, and adhere to security guidelines. Updated information about the situation will be published as it is received.
