A Russian air strike on Kyiv overnight on Monday injured at least eight people, including a child, the head of the Ukrainian capital’s military administration, Tymur Tkachenko, said on Telegram.
He added that the strike damaged a residential building and several cars in the Darnytskyi District, but that no fires broke out.
“The blast wave shattered the windows of a high-rise building from the fifth to the 10th floor, as a result of which five people suffered shrapnel wounds,” he said.
A wave of drones also targeted the city of Kropyvnytskyi in central Ukraine, damaging a philharmonic hall. No injuries or fatalities were reported.
Russia also claimed on Sunday to have targeted Ukrainian supply depots. Russian Ministry of Defence claimed its forces destroyed seven electronic warfare stations, 16 ammunition depots, two material warehouses and seven supply depots.
Russian air defence systems intercepted and shot down 72 Ukrainian drones over Russian territory and the Sea of Azov from early morning until evening on Sunday, the ministry said. These claims could not be independently verified.
Meanwhile, Ukraine said that its troops struck a Russian ammunition storage site on its territory.
The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that 153 combat engagements had occurred along the front lines in the past 24 hours, with Ukrainian troops repelling Russian attacks from multiple directions.
Ukraine’s Air Force reported that since Saturday evening, Russia launched 83 drones of various types, of which Ukrainian air defences shot down 78.
The attacks come as US President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer met at a golf course in Scotland to discuss various global issues, including Russia’s ongoing full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
According to Starmer’s office, efforts to promote a possible peace deal to end the fighting and force Russian President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table in the next 50 days are on the agenda.
