After two May 29 air attacks on Kyiv, Russians launched another 31 Shahed drones targeting the Ukrainian capital in the early hours of 30 May. Ukrainian air defenses shot down 29 of them, according to the Air Force. At least one civilian was killed in the attack, and three more injured, according to the city’s authorities.

In its morning report, the Air Force Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces says that last night, from 23:30 to 4:30, Russian forces launched 31 Iranian-made Shahed-136/131 one-way attack drones from the north and south. Ukrainian air defense units and other components of the Defense Forces shot down 29 of those on the approaches to the capital and in the Kyiv skies.

Read our last night’s Twitter thread about the attack:

The Kyiv City Military Administration (KMVA) and the city’s mayor Vitalii Klitschko reported that falling debris of the downed drones damaged several buildings in Kyiv, leading to the death of one civilian.

As of 5:00, the KMVA reported the following damage and casualties:

  • Holosiivskyi district: a fire broke out on the top two floors of a multi-storey residential building as debris fell. More than 20 residents were evacuated. Preliminarily, one person was killed, and three were injured. The ceiling between floors had likely collapsed, and search operations were underway to find people under the rubble.
  • Pecherskyi district: debris damaged cars.
