Iranian-Made “Kamikaze Drones” Rain Down On Kyiv

October 17, 2022 Russia, Ukraine

Russia has hit Ukraine with a wave of attacks, including Iranian-made “kamikaze” drones on the capital, Kyiv. The strikes hit critical infrastructure in three regions, cutting off electricity in hundreds of villages across the country, according to Prime Minister Denys Shmygal.

At least seven people have died so far – four in Sumy and three in Kyiv. A week ago, the capital was hit by Russian missiles at rush hour, part of nationwide attacks which left 19 dead.

Mr Shmygal said the new strikes had hit regions of Kyiv, Dnipro and Sumy. Russia said it had hit “all designated targets”, confirming that Ukraine’s “military command facilities and energy system” had been targets.
