Kyiv has been hit by a mass drone attack overnight, the city’s mayor has said.

Vitali Klitschko said multiple districts of the Ukrainian capital had been targeted.

According to Ukraine’s air force, it was the largest Russian attack using kamikaze Shahed drones of the war so far.

The drones have been intercepted, but fragments from the downed aircraft have left at least two people injured and damaged several buildings.

Writing on Telegram, Mr Klitschko said apartment blocks were hit – and a fire had broken out at a nursery.

It comes after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned civilians to expect a winter bombardment from Moscow.

In a nightly address last weekend, he said: “The closer we are to winter, the more Russians will try to make the strikes more powerful.”
