Drone over Kyiv downed in fireball

Описание: A drone attacking Kyiv was shot down on Thursday (May 4), leaving a trail of black smoke and burning debris in its wake.

As the aircraft flew over it was apparently downed by firing from the ground in the fourth such attack on the capital in as many days.

Officials said at least one drone was downed after anti-aircraft units went into action during the raid, which began just after 8 p.m. and lasted about 20 minutes.

City military administration head Serhiy Popko said on Telegram it was shot down by 'air defense forces.'

Popko said a fire was brought under control in a building where the drone was brought down in the Solomyanskyi district west of the city center. He said there were no injuries.

A small fire also broke out in the Pechersk district to the east.

Local authorities declared an alert for the capital and the surrounding area. Residents who had gone to air raid shelters said the drones had arrived more quickly than usual after the alerts were declared.
