One injured at second drone crash site in Kyiv's Holosiivsky district – mayor
One person was injured after a second UAV crashed in Kyiv's Holosiivsky district on Thursday, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
According to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, one-third of the city's apartment buildings have been damaged by Russian attacks since the start of the full-scale war. With 12,000 such buildings in total, each Russian strike costs the capital's budget approximately half a billion hryvnias, or $11.2 million. The intensity of attacks has increased, with Russian forces launching cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and drones nearly twice a week.
Klitschko highlighted that only purpose-built bomb shelters can adequately protect against missile strikes, yet the city is still insufficient in this regard. The city faced a massive Russian strike on the night of August 20, resulting in 15 deaths and multiple injuries from shelling of residential buildings, warehouses, and critical infrastructure. August 21 was declared a day of mourning in Kyiv.
