“Nineteen enemy Shahed-136/131 attack unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were destroyed. The Russian occupants sent most of the attack UAVs to the frontline areas,” the air force said, adding Russia also used several missiles.

Two strong explosions were heard in central Kyiv on Saturday morning by AFP journalists, who also saw trails in the sky, shortly before air raid sirens sounded.
“Strong explosions were heard on the left bank of the capital. According to preliminary information, the air defences worked against ballistic weapons,” Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko wrote on Telegram.
There were no reports of injured people so far, he said.
The attack came after a long period of calm in the Ukrainian capital.
