At least one person was killed and six injured when a Russian drone came down among rush-hour traffic in Kyiv's Holosiivskyi district on Tuesday morning, the Kyiv Independent reports, citing the city's mayor, Vitali Klitschko.
The drone crashed near a petrol station close to the city's boundary with the surrounding Kyiv region, and images from prosecutors showed several cars on fire near the Kyiv-Odesa highway. Prosecutors have opened a war crimes investigation.
Earlier the same morning, three people were killed in a Russian strike on a production and warehouse building in Obukhiv, south of the capital, according to emergency services. Ukraine's air force said Russia launched 165 drones overnight, more than 100 of them jet-powered, and that 115 were shot down or suppressed. Jet-powered drones are faster than older models and harder for Ukraine's air defences to stop.
