Ukraine's anti-aircraft defenses intercepted "all of the 13 drones" launched by Russia, in the new wave of strikes launched Wednesday morning against Kiev and its surroundings, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
"The terrorists started the morning with 13 Shahed," Zelensky noted, referring to the Iranian-made kamikaze drones.
"According to preliminary information, all 13 drones were intercepted by our anti-aircraft defense system," he added.
The Ukrainian capital was targeted by "two waves" of drones that caused no casualties, the head of the city's military command, Sergiy Popko, clarified in a statement on Telegram.
"The explosions from the intercepted drones hit a government building" in the Shevchenkivsky district in central Kiev, he added.
On the spot, AFP reporters saw part of the roof of that building fall off.
"Four residential buildings" also suffered minor damage, Popko added.
