The reported explosions in Kyiv are the first in weeks during Russia’s ongoing war against the country.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a video the “terrorists” fired 13 Iranian-made drones, and all were intercepted. Such drones have been part of the firepower — along with rockets, missiles, mortars and artillery — that Russia uses to target power stations, water facilities and other public utility equipment.
A blast left the three-story tax office building in the central Shevchenkyvskyi district with a gaping hole in the roof and blew out windows in parked cars and in a neighboring building. “I didn’t do anything bad to them, but it struck my house. From where? I don’t understand why,” he said. Ukrainian authorities have trumpeted their ability to knock down Russian weapons. But strikes in some areas continue to cause deaths and havoc, particularly in in the east and south. In the southern city of Odesa, drone strikes temporarily shut off the power last week. Kyiv has suffered comparatively little damage.
U.S. officials said last week that Moscow has looked to Iran to resupply the Russian military with drones and surface-to-surface missiles.as winter approaches
