(Reuters) - Russia launched a multi-wave drone attack on Kyiv for the second straight night, the military administration of the Ukrainian capital said on Sunday. "It seems that now every night, without long breaks, the Russian armed forces attack the peaceful city of Kyiv," Serhiy Popko, head of the military administration said on Telegram messaging app. "Last night, the enemy made another attack on the capital.
" He added that Russia launched around 10 drones in several waves, from different directions and at different heights, but Ukrainian air defence units destroyed all of the weapons on their approach to the city. No injuries or major damage were reported, Popko added. He said that the Air Force will release data on the full-scale of the overnight attack on Ukraine later on Sunday.
Reuters could not independently verify the report. There was no immediate comment from Russia on the overnight attack on Kyiv. Both sides deny targeting civilians in the war that Russia started with its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
But thousands of civilians have died, the vast majority of them Ukrainians. Russia's drone attack on Kyiv on Saturday killed one and damaged high-rise residential building. (Reporting by Lidia Kelly in Melbourne; Editing by Alistair Bell and Jacqueline Wong).
