Kyiv Under Attack: Russian Drones Strike the Capital on the Night of August 21
On the night of August 20 to 21, Kyiv once again found itself in the crosshairs of enemy attacks.
Around 1 a.m., loud explosions echoed throughout the city, startling residents and raising alarm.
Initial reports indicate that kamikaze-style drones, aimed at infrastructure and residential areas, were used by the aggressor.
Local authorities responded quickly, urging citizens to stay in shelters, remain calm, and follow safety protocols.
The Kyiv City Military Administration confirmed that the threat from attacking UAVs persists, advising the public to stay vigilant.
An air raid alert, issued late the previous evening at 22:35, has been ongoing for more than two hours.
During this period, several explosions were recorded, likely caused by the air defense systems attempting to intercept the dangerous targets.
Citizens are accustomed to these alerts, but each serves as a reminder of the tense security situation and the importance of being prepared at all times.
