Details: The city boss reported that the detonator of a downed drone went off with a delay, resulting in the injury of a resident from Darnytskyi district.
The Darnytska Rayon State Administration in Kyiv has urged local inhabitants to be extra vigilant as delayed-action cassette bombs have been detected in the Bortnychi area, which could have been distributed during the drone attack in the wee hours.
They advise citizens, "In case you come across suspicious objects: stand at a safe distance, call emergency services (102), and provide the exact location of the object."
At the same time, Timur Tkachenko, the head of Kyiv's military administration, disclosed around ten explosions were heard in the greenbelt region. He also mentioned an explosion on the roof of a residential building, slightly damaging it.
Tkachenko's statement: "Presently, one injured individual has been identified. Information is being verified.
Munitions experts, medics, and policemen are on site, securing the area and blocking unauthorized access. More than likely, cassette bombs dropped by Russian drones are still exploding, but this can only be confirmed after a thorough examination to ascertain the origin of these explosive elements."
Background: From April 30 evening, Russia launched an assault on Ukraine, employing 5 "Iskander-M" ballistic missiles and 170 strike drones and drone imitators of different types: 142 drones were unable to reach their targets.
