Russia Ukraine War: The Russian army is becoming increasingly aggressive in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. Ukrainian officials said on Monday that Russia carried out several drone attacks targeting Kiev for the second consecutive night, causing damage to residential buildings. At least one civilian is also reported to have been injured in these attacks by Russia. 

Destroyed drones

"Another night, another concern, the enemy is carrying out air strikes on Ukraine and Kiev," Kiev's military administration chief Serhiy Popko said on the Telegram messaging app. Popko said about 10 drones that attacked the city multiple times and from different directions had been destroyed. He added that none of the drones hit their targets.

Ukraine also attacked

Meanwhile, Russia's air defense system shot down more than 100 Ukrainian drones in the western region of the country on Sunday. This information has been given by Russian officials. The Russian Defense Ministry said that 110 drones sent towards seven regions of Russia were shot down last night. The ministry said that most of the drones targeted the Russian border region Kursk, where 43 drones were reported to have been shot down.

Zelensky furious at Russia

In a statement on social media, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia had fired nearly 800 targeted aerial bombs and more than 500 attack drones on Ukraine last week. He said, "Every day Russia attacks our cities and communities. This is a deliberate terrorist act by the enemy against our people."
