Russia on Saturday launched its largest drone attack against Ukraine’s capital of Kyiv since the start of its invasion, according to local officials.

The Russian capital has come under attack from drones regularly since May, with Russian officials blaming Ukraine. Military analysts commented at the time that the early attacks deployed Ukrainian locally made drones which could not carry as heavy a payload as the Iranian-made Shaheds used by Russia.

Russia launched several waves of drone attacks on Kyiv yesterday overnight for the second night in a row, stepping up its assaults on the Ukrainian capital after several weeks of pause.
