“During the last air alert, an enemy reconnaissance UAV was detected in the airspace of Kyiv,” the Kyiv Military Administration reported in Telegram.

“The drone was destroyed… According to preliminary information, there were no casualties or damage,” the quoted source added.

Notifications spread from the capital Kyiv and the districts to the west of it to all regions in the east, as well as to the south to the Kherson region and the annexed Crimea.

An official installed by Moscow in Crimea said that Ukraine has sent more than 10 drones over the peninsula.

Local authorities in several regions of Ukraine reported that air defense systems went off overnight, but there were no reports of possible casualties or damage early Sunday.
