Debris Crashes in Several Parts of Kyiv From Russian Drone Attack; No Injuries Reported

March 16 (Reuters) – Debris ⁠crashed ⁠in central ⁠Kyiv and two other ​districts of the Ukrainian ‌capital on Monday from ‌a Russian ⁠drone ⁠attack, though there were no immediate reports ​of injuries, officials said.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said ​drone debris fell in the ⁠busy Shevchenkivskyi ⁠district in ⁠the city ​centre, the western Svyatoshynskyi district ​where ⁠it caused a grass fire in an open area, and in ⁠the neighbouring Solomianskyi district where it hit ⁠a non-residential area.

Multiple explosions were heard in the city. Kyiv’s military administration said earlier on Telegram that an air alert was declared in ⁠the city due to the threat of Russian drones.
