Russia attacked Ukraine again with numerous drones during the night, following the largest-scale drone attack of the war so far the previous night.

The Ukrainian Air Force reported on Wednesday morning that property had been damaged, but there had been no deaths or injuries.

However, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko posted on Telegram during the night that two people had been injured in the capital.

“Falling debris had hit a houseboat in which one of the victims had been staying,” he wrote.

Ukraine’s air defence said that Moscow had attacked the country with 89 drones during the night. The air force reported shooting down 36 drones.

The flights of 48 drones were aborted, presumably due to electronic countermeasures. Five drones are said to have flown to Russia, Belarus and the occupied territories of Ukraine.

Ukraine has been defending itself against a full-scale Russian invasion for more than two and a half years.
