STORY: The Ukrainian military said it shot down 58 of 59 drones launched, described by the Air Force as a record-breaking attack with Iran-made “kamikaze” drones. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said all 36 drones targeting Kiev had been destroyed.
In what also appears to be the first deadly attack on Kiev in May and the 14th attack this month, a 41-year-old man was killed by falling debris, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said, while several other people were injured.
The pre-dawn attacks took place on the last Sunday in May (May 28), when the capital celebrates Kiev Day, the anniversary of its official founding 1,541 years ago.
“This is how Russia celebrates the day of our old Kiev,” Zelenskiy said in his nightly speech.
Russia has not commented on the attacks.
