After a Russian drone strike in Kyiv on Monday, smoke is seen rising. According to the city’s military administration, “kamikaze” drone attacks on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv hit the city at least four times as of 9 a.m. local time on Monday, and strikes are still occurring.
“A residential building was struck in the Shevchenkivskyi neighborhood. The details of casualties are now being clarified, according to a Telegram statement from the Kyiv City Military Administration.
The attacks are still going on, according to Anton Gerashchenko, an advisor to Ukraine’s interior minister, and a group of drones is flying into Kyiv from the south and east. Gerashchenko urged everyone to seek refuge in a Telegram thread. In Kyiv, air raid sirens can still be heard. One strike occurred early on Monday near Kyiv’s main train station, according to Gerashchenko.
After Russia increased its use of “kamikaze drones” in its ruthless attack against the country, Ukraine has frequently requested assistance from its friends in the form of additional air defense systems and ammunition.
In recent weeks, Kyiv claims that Moscow has attacked Kyiv, Vinnytsia, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, and other Ukrainian cities using kamikaze drones supplied by Iran. Kyiv has pleaded with Western nations to increase their support in the face of the new threat.
Since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in late February, drones have played a vital part in the battle, but their deployment has risen since Moscow obtained the latest drones from Iran over the summer.
Kamikaze drones: what are they? A sort of airborne weapon system is kamikaze drones, also known as suicide drones. They are referred to as loitering munition because they can linger for a while in an area that has been flagged as a prospective target before striking when an enemy asset is found.
They are lightweight, portable, and simple to launch, but their greatest benefit is that they may be shot from a distance and are imperceptible.
The term “kamikaze” refers to the drones’ disposable nature. Instead of returning home after dropping missiles like more conventional, larger, and faster military drones, they are built to strike behind enemy lines and are destroyed during the attack.
