KYIV, Ukraine (AA) - Ukraine’s capital was rocked by a powerful explosion from a Russian airstrike, Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko announced early Monday

"An injured 19-year-old man was hospitalized in Desnyan district," Klitschko said on Telegram.

The Kyiv Regional Military Administration announced on Telegram that around 10 drones were shot down over the capital, noting that air alerts continue.

According to local media reports, the Russian army reportedly carried out attacks using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on various parts of Ukraine.

On Sunday, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that the Air Force and anti-aircraft batteries destroyed 45 UAVs launched by Russian forces in an attack on Kyiv.

Zelenskyy noted that Russian forces have been carrying out attacks across the country with Iranian-made Shahed-131/136 kamikaze drones.
