Ukrainian president says it is vital to have ‘concrete action’ after night of constant attacks, one of the biggest aerial attacks of the war

The buzzing of drones followed by explosions could be heard throughout the night in Kyiv , where residents had been told by the local authorities to take shelter in bunkers.

The city smelled of smoke on Tuesday with charred residential buildings and the remains of cars on the streets offering evidence of the impact of the strikes, which are believed to have targeted the city’s energy infrastructure.

“A difficult night for all of us. Throughout the night, the enemy relentlessly terrorised Kyiv with attack drones. They targeted civilian infrastructure and peaceful residents of the city.”
