Russian drones rained down on Kyiv in an aerial attack that lasted two hours overnight, while two aid workers were killed in a missile attack in Ukraine, authorities have said. Blasts rang out across the capital early on Sunday, with witnesses hearing at least five. Ukrainian officials said debris fell on several of the city’s central districts, as media footage showed a number of cars damaged. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said that one person was injured in the attacks and a fire broke out near one of the city’s parks. “Drones came onto the capital in groups and from different directions,” Serhiy Popko, head of Kyiv’s city military administration, said on the Telegram messaging app, adding that drone debris sparked a fire in an apartment. Ukraine’s Land Forces said air defence systems destroyed 25 out of 32 Russia-launched Iran-made Shahed drones on Sunday, as Moscow conducts near-nightly assaults on Ukraine’s territory. Meanwhile, a Spanish aid worker was killed in a missile attack in Ukraine, alongside her Canadian colleague. “Unfortunately, I can confirm a missile hit a vehicle in which this Spanish worker was travelling who was working for a humanitarian NGO in Ukraine. We have verbal confirmation of her death,” Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares told reporters in India, where he attended the G20 meeting, on Sunday. A Canadian aid worker also died in the attack on Saturday in Chasiv Yar, in the region of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine, authorities said.
