Ukraine Russia news – live: Explosions and drone debris hit Kyiv in overnight attacks

Debris from drones fell in three districts of Kyiv overnight as anti-aircraft units worked to shoot down the aerial munitions, mayor Vitali Klitschko and other military officials said as air raid sirens returned in the capital, the surrounding region and most parts of the war-hit country. The residual drone had fallen in the central Solomianskyi district and a non-residential building had been damaged. Emergency services were on site, Mr Klitschko said. He added that the debris had also fallen in the Svyatoshyn district – further west – and that a tree had caught fire. Serhiy Popko, the head of Kyiv’s military administration, said debris also came down in a playground in the Holosiivskyi district, near the city centre, and set fire to a non-residential building. And, Russian drones attacked port and grain storage facilities in the south of Ukraine’s coastal Odesa region in the early hours today, setting some of them on fire, regional governor said. This comes as Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko and Russian president Vladimir Putin have taunted Poland over the presence of Wagner troops near Poland’s border.
