Ukraine’s capital region was struck by Iranian-made kamikaze drones early Thursday, officials said, sending rescue workers rushing to the scene as residents awoke to air raid sirens for the fourth consecutive morning following Russia’s major assault across the country earlier this week.
Kyiv regional governor Oleksiy Kuleba said the strike occurred in the area around the capital. It wasn’t yet clear if there were any casualties.
Deputy head of the presidential office Kyrylo Tymoshenko said on Telegram that “critical infrastructure facilities” in the area were hit, without offering any details on which ones.

pinpricks by a desperate dictator
Russia’s troops are getting their asses kicked, and so Putin
decides to target the general public.
What a man!
He said that the building was hit by an S-300 missile which is ordinarily used for targeting military aircraft, but Russians have apparently been increasingly using them for unprecise ground strikes.
Didn’t anybody learn anything from WWII?
attacks on civilians don’t demoralize them, they just make them angrier
Hitler thought he could break the British spirit by bombing their cities ... it just made them more determined
the Allies thought they could break the Germans will ... they bombed around the clock, the US in the daytime and the British at night ... they even had 1000-bomber raids, complete with incendiary firestorms ... the Germans just kept on fighting and going to work (industrial production even went UP as the war went on!)
and now Russia is repeating the same old mistakes ... go ahead and waste limited military resources on non-military targets that have no bearing on the outcome
I think what we should do is find other things we didn’t like,
so we can say that it’s okay now that Russia is doing it.
You sound like Baghdad Bob.
You’ve got a point there.
He seems to think he’ll demoralize the Ukrainians.
As you say, he may be ensuring they get furious instead.
Let’s be honest, these attacks have no military effect
deliberately targeting civilian areas is also a war crime
There’s one big difference between WWII and now. These people aren’t fighting Russia, we are. What happens when America invariably pulls the plug on Ukraine? America always abandons its proxy fighters, always.
Honest to ... folks?
“These people aren’t fighting Russia, we are.”
So we are dying? I didn’t know that.
Yes they are taking our equipment and putting it to good
use.
I honestly don’t know what you guys envisioned the Ukrainians
would do when Russia invaded.
Did you just think that they’d go about work and just
ignore the Russian convoys and equipment?
Did you expect the Ukrainians to celebrate because Russia
freed them from having their own nation?
Glory to Ukraine
Your arguments are idiotic. You clowns were cheering the Ukrainian death squads killing “collaborators” last week. Totally, 100 percent hypocritical.
Ukraine has been doing that to the Donbas region for the last eight years.
We are funding the war. There would be no war without us. That’s a fact. The minute we stop supporting this war is when it will end. You say we are not doing the fighting. Who are all of those “volunteers” from America and The UK that are on the ground in Ukraine? Don’t be naive.
It wasn't in Ukraine, and Russians didn't do it.
Dresden
Tokyo
So hitting a business building is a military target.
Oh. Wow, I should have known. /s
You guys crack me up with the photos you post to make the
West look bad so Russia can do any old thing they like.
It’s not working.
Russia is extremely frustrated and acting out like a child.
