Ukraine Claims to Have Shot Down Russian Drone Swarm Aimed at Kyiv

HeadlineDec 30, 2022

Ukraine’s military says it shot down a swarm of 16 drones launched by Russia overnight against targets in Kyiv. The latest attack on Ukraine’s capital came after Russia launched one of its heaviest waves of missile strikes of the 10-month-old war. This is a 79-year-old Kyiv resident who narrowly escaped injury after his home was destroyed on Thursday.

Leonid Padkurin: “I have no words for what to call it. As they say, war is war, and things happen. But this is not war; it’s a crime against humanity.”

In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said military leaders were looking at attacking railway lines, bridges and tunnels across Ukraine in an effort to cut off the flow of weapons and ammunition sent by Ukraine’s allies.
