Russia’s largest air attack on Ukraine sets fire to main government building
Russia’s largest overnight air attack of the war set the main building of the Ukrainian government in Kyiv on fire and left three people dead, Ukrainian officials said on Sunday.
“For the first time, the Government building was damaged by an enemy strike — its roof and upper floors,” Ukraine’s Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, said on the Telegram messaging app.
Ukraine’s Air Force said on Telegram that Russia launched 805 drones into Ukraine overnight and 13 missiles, with Ukrainian defence units downing 751 drones and four missiles.
State emergency officials said that 18 people were injured in the overnight attack that sowed fires throughout the city.
Meanwhile, Ukraine attacked the Druzhba oil pipeline in Russia’s Bryansk region, inflicting “comprehensive fire damage”, the commander of drone forces, Robert Brovdi, said on Telegram on Sunday.
