Kiev, 2 January 2023 (dpa/MIA) – After five consecutive nights of drone attacks throughout Ukraine, Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko said energy infrastructure had been damaged in the capital city, leading to power cuts that were also affecting the provision of heating.

However, the water supply was running normally, he said on Monday morning.

Klitschko said that a 19-year-old man was treated in hospital after a building was hit in a blast in a neighbourhood.

Air warning sirens sounded on Sunday night in much of Ukraine, as it has in recent days amid the latest wave of Russian bombardment.

Moscow’s forces have been using kamikaze Iranian Shahed-136 combat drones.

Russian military bloggers reported that the areas targeted included Poltava, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv and Kherson alongside Kiev, in the massive wave of attacks that started on Thursday.

Russia has repeatedly reported drone attacks coming from Ukraine, with Governor Alexander Bogomas saying one hit energy infrastructure in the Russian region of Bryansk near the border on Monday.

He said one town lost power but there were no casualties.
