Debris from a Russian drone attack caused significant disturbance in central Kyiv and two other districts on Monday. Despite the chaos, officials reported no immediate injuries.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed the falling debris in the busy Shevchenkivskyi district, the western Svyatoshynskyi district, which witnessed a grass fire, and the neighboring Solomianskyi district, where it struck a non-residential area.

The city was rocked by multiple explosions, prompting Kyiv's military administration to issue a citywide air alert due to the threat of further Russian drone incursions.
