Russia has launched its biggest drone attack on Kyiv since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine began last year, the city’s mayor has said.
Residents were woken by explosions before dawn on Saturday as Russia bombarded the capital for more than six hours.
Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said five people had been injured in the attacks and power has been cut to a number of buildings.
Officials said that more than 75 Iranian-made Shahed drones were fired at the capital, and 74 were shot down.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Looking further. Europe always needed foreign resources. But in the case with Russia they could not leave their colonialism and planned to overthrow the Russian government, and then plunder its natural resources. If Europe has problems now, I'm sorry it was the other way around.

Western media lies become more and more idiotic as the days pass. Does anyone believe a word the BBC says any more? Until a few weeks ago Ukraine was winning the war, their counteroffensive was a great success, the Russians were out of weapons (that story MANY times over the last 18+ months), the Russians are running away, the Russians are poorly trained conscripts, the Russians are using 'human waves', Russian weapons are inferior to Western "wonder weapons", etc. And yet somehow they are kicking Ukraine's ass! Over a million dead Ukrainians already, most of the weapons supplied by the West destroyed, and now Ukraine is planning to mobilize teenagers and women. It's time to stop this senseless slaughter.

Russian State Terrorism continues
But we can always bank on the moral minnows living in the West to parrot Kremlin propaganda
Of course Ukraine cannot liberate itself overnight. Russia, despite it's seriously weakened economy and thousands of dead remains determined to destroy Ukraine
WW2 took 6 years

This can't be right, according to Ukrainian sources, almost all drones were shot down, it follows therefore that those explosions were due to firecrackers fired off by somebody celebrating birthday.

Oh dear, guess they’ve run out of missiles. Must be about time the collective West imposed more sanctions on Russia! Must be about sanctions round 12 – according to the West their economy is in tatters!
