After a relative lull, Russia launched a drone attack early Sunday on Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, officials said. All of the Iranian-made Shahed exploding drones were detected and shot down, according to Serhii Popko, the head of the Kyiv city administration. Ruslan Kravchenko reported that one person was wounded by falling debris from a destroyed drone. The details, he said, would be disclosed once Ukrainian forces had analyzed the situation and consolidated their positions. In Russia, local officials reported that air defense systems shot down a drone over the Belgorod region, which borders Ukraine, while the neighboring Kursk region faced shelling attacks.
