Explosions were heard in Ukraine's capital city after Russia launched 'kamikaze' drone strikes early on Monday. Yurii Ihnat, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian air force, has claimed that 13 or more were shot down, all of them as they flew in from the south.

It has been widely reported that the drones used in the attacks appeared to include Iranian-made models. Tehran has denied providing weaponry to the Russians.
