Russia unleashed 35 “kamikaze” drones on Ukraine within the early hours of Monday morning as many individuals slept, damaging critical infrastructure in and across the capital, Kyiv.
Governor Oleksiy Kubela said the assault was “fairly serious,” after three areas within the region were left without power supply.
The assault marks Moscow’s third air attack on town in six days.
Meanwhile, the Russian ruble fell to a greater than six-month low against the dollar. As of around 9:00 a.m. GMT Monday, it was trading at 66.22 against the dollar.
The autumn marks the ruble’s lowest level since May 30.
