The Ukrainian capital was the target of “two waves” of drone attacks that caused no casualties, Kiev military commander Serguei Popko said in a statement.

He further reported that “shrapnel from downed drones hit an administrative building” in the Shevchenkivsky district, in the center-west of the capital.

“Four residential buildings suffered minor damage,” Popko said.

Russia bombarded Ukraine's energy infrastructure with missiles and drones for several weeks, leaving millions of people in the dark on the eve of winter.
