Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said that three people were injured in the capital as a result of the drone attacks.
He added that drone debris also destroyed a private house and damaged several commercial buildings, causing large fires in different parts of Kyiv.
Kharkiv’s mayor, Ihor Terekhov, said one more person was wounded in the city of Kharkiv in the northeast.
According to regional officials, residential and commercial buildings were damaged in the central Dnipropetrovsk region, and the military reported damage in the Odesa region in the south.
