The Kyiv City Military Administration (KCMA) reported the information.

"The eleventh air attack on the capital since the beginning of May! The enemy is doing its best to strike key targets in Kyiv and at the same time deplete the resources of our air defense system. In addition, in this way, the ruscists are trying to keep the civilian population in psychological tension. That is why they attack Kyiv from the air almost every day. In May, there were only four days without air raid alarms for Kyiv residents," wrote Serhiy Popko, head of the KCMA.

Last night, Russia launched another massive drone attack. According to preliminary information, it used Shahed barrage munitions.

"All the identified air targets were destroyed by Ukrainian air defense forces and equipment. We prevented all hits on Kyiv!" emphasized Popko.

Mykhailo Shamanov, a spokesman for the KCMA, told Espreso that a maintenance station in the Darnytsia district of the capital was damaged as a result of the fall of drone fragments. 

"In the Darnytsia district, the service station and cars parked nearby were damaged. In the Pecherskyi district, windows of a residential building were damaged, and in the Solomianskyi district, the road surface and parked cars were damaged. At the moment, there is no information about civilians being injured or killed," said Mykhailo Shamanov, KCMA spokesman.
