Ukraine war: Russia hits Kyiv with ‘biggest drone attack of conflict so far’ | World News<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

Kyiv has been hit by what Ukraine’s air force described as the largest Russian drone attack of the war so far.<\/p>\n

At least five people were injured after Iranian-made kamikaze Shahed drones<\/strong> descended on the capital overnight.<\/p>\n

Explosions were heard as the aircraft were intercepted, with buildings damaged across multiple districts.<\/p>\n

Writing on Telegram, mayor Vitali Klitschko said apartment blocks and a nursery were hit.<\/p>\n

An 11-year-old girl was among the injured, he added.<\/p>\n

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/strong> described the strikes, which came ahead of Ukraine’s annual memorial day for victims of the 1932 Holodomor famine, as an act of “wilful terror”.<\/p>\n

He said more than 70 drones were involved in the attack, most of which were shot down.<\/p>\n

How Ukraine shoots down Russia’s drones<\/span>
\n <\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Russia’s winter bombardment<\/strong><\/p>\n

It comes days after Russia launched consecutive nights of drone attacks on Kyiv<\/strong> for the first time in weeks.<\/p>\n

Those also used Shahed drones.<\/p>\n

The attacks bear similarities to 12 months ago, when Russia<\/strong> began targeting Ukraine’s energy, military and transport infrastructure, six months after withdrawing its troops from around the capital.<\/p>\n

Millions were left without energy and heating during the coldest months of the year.<\/p>\n

The latest attack has left almost 200 buildings without power, Ukraine’s energy ministry said.<\/p>\n

The Holodomor Famine<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n

Ukraine recognises the Holodomor famine as a genocide against its people by Soviet leader Joseph Stalin.<\/p>\n

Historians dispute whether the famine, which killed millions of Ukrainians, was a purposefully orchestrated bid to eradicate an independence movement, or a botched nationalisation policy.<\/p>\n

The man-made famine saw Stalin order police to seize grain, livestock, and seed from Ukrainian farms.<\/p>\n

Moscow denies the deaths were caused by a deliberate genocidal policy and says Russians and other ethnic groups also suffered.<\/p>\n

Ukraine’s Holodomor memorial day takes place on the fourth Saturday in each November.<\/p>\n

Since Russia launched its invasion last year, President Vladimir Putin has been accused of a similar attempt to starve Ukraine’s people.\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Mr Zelenskyy had warned civilians to expect another winter bombardment from Moscow this year.<\/p>\n

In a nightly address last weekend, he said: “The closer we are to winter, the more Russians will try to make the strikes more powerful.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
