On the night of Monday, January 2, the invaders launched new attacks on peaceful Ukrainian cities, launching several waves of Iranian kamikaze drones.
The appearance of “mopeds” in the sky over the capital was announced immediately after midnight by the head of the Kyiv OV Aleksey Kuleba. He urged residents of the capital region to go to the shelter and stay there until the end of the air raid alert.
“Kyiv region – air defense works. Stay in shelters and safe places,” Kuleba said.

The official also appealed to the Ukrainians with a request not to produce any shots of explosions and other things.
“In no case - we do not take pictures and do not post the work of the military and air defense forces on the network” called the chairman of the OVA.
Shortly thereafter, there were reports that air defense had worked in the Poltava region and the Dnieper.
After one in the morning, it became known about the first drone shot down over the capital, as well as about the first victim.
It turned out to be a 19-year-old young guy who received a cut wound on his foot (he stepped on pieces of glass through negligence). He was sent to the emergency room, said Deputy Head of the President’s Office Kyrylo Tymoshenko.
Mayor of Kyiv Klitschko confirmed the explosion in the Desnyansky district of Kyiv. The debris fell on the roadway, damaged the windows of the house.

The result of the night attack of the enemy in the southern regions was summed up in the press service of the Air Command “Vostok” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
It is specified that the aviation and anti-aircraft missile forces over the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporozhye regions destroyed 6 Iranian strike drones and one Kh-59MK2 high-precision guided missile flying in the direction of the city of Dnipro. Three more “shaheeds” were shot down by the air defense of the Ground Forces in cooperation with the Vostok air command.
As a result of the explosions in the Kyiv region, there were large power surges. Residents of the capital were urged to turn off electrical appliances. During the air raid over Kyiv, 20 targets were shot down, the OVA added.
Recall that in a recent interview, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that Putin did not abandon his plans to “control Ukraine” and warned that the confrontation would be long.
