More than 20 people have been injured in a drone attack on Kyiv. Over 500 Russian drones went on the attack on Ukraine during the night.

Fires broke out in several places in the capital when falling debris hit cars and buildings. Among other things, a school and a healthcare facility in southern Kyiv were damaged, writes The Kyiv Independent.

14 of the injured have received hospital care, says Kyiv's mayor Vitalij Klytjko.
