Critical infrastructure facilities were hit by drone strikes early on Thursday. Three "kamikaze" drones carried out the targeted attacks on the district of Bucha, the head of Kyiv region police Andrii Nebytov said. "Tonight, the enemy carried out a series of attacks on the infrastructure of Kyiv region. As a result of the explosions a fire broke out," he said in a Telegram post on Thursday. There are no casualties, according to a preliminary assessment. Drones also struck targets in the Makariv community in the Kyiv region overnight, he said. The police chief however did not elaborate on what kind of infrastructure facilities were targeted in Bucha. Oleksii Kuleba, head of Kyiv region military administration, also posted about the drones on Telegram.
"Today, around 5 am, the Russians carried out an attack on the Kyiv region. In one of the communities of the region, there were three attacks by enemy kamikaze drones on an infrastructure facility. This caused a fire," Kuleba, said.
"There are no casualties. At 06:45, the fire was localized, there is no open fire. 43 people and 12 units of emergency services equipment were involved in extinguishing the fire," added Kuleba.
He requested residents not to record the location of the attacks or share on social media.
"Do not specify locations and places of incoming hits. Be responsible, because our safety depends on it," Kuleba said.
Kuleba, also said rescue workers were at the site of the attack, without specifying where or what had been targeted. Early indications were that suicide drones had been deployed, he said.
Ukraine’s air-force command also said it had shot down six Iranian-made drones over the south of the country. Russia has increasingly been deploying drones, including the so-called kamikaze variety, which are relatively small and fly at a low altitude, in conjunction with missiles to exploit gaps in Ukraine’s existing patchwork of air defenses.
The repeated strikes have resulted in a galvanized Western support for fortifying Ukraine’s air defense.
